La Rivière

2023 · 104 min

A calm, observant documentary that follows rivers and the people living alongside them, quietly building concern about what is being lost.

Overview
Between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic ocean, there are powerful rivers. But corn fields dry them up, and dams are blocking salmons. Human activity upsets the hydrologic circule, and river's biodiversity.
