| 520 | |a River of Life chronicles the experiences of a determined group of women who make up the 2006 Paddlers Abreast racers in the Yukon River Quest, the world's longest annual canoe and kayak race. Their diverse stories unfold in this beautifully-realized documentary as they reveal their reasons for pushing themselves to new limits by paddling competitively. Set against the stunning backdrop of Canada's North, this film combines lively footage of the race with touching and humorous interviews with the women, their families, and other paddlers. Some members of Paddlers Abreast have been in remission for years, one was diagnosed as recently as the year before. Stroke by stroke, they forge on; everyone moving fluidly, part of the river and its surroundings. As the documentary follows the arduous physical and emotional journey of the team in its struggle towards the finish, what emerges most clearly is the incredible strength and spirit resonating from the boat. River of Life is an exhilarating story of a group of women who have faced death and understand how precious life is. | ||
