Finding the Current

About This Movie

Finding the Current is a captivating documentary that takes you on an epic journey—233 days and over 5,000 miles down the Missouri River to the Atlantic Ocean. The film’s slow, almost meditative pacing allows the viewer to really absorb the vast landscapes and varied climates encountered along the way. You get this raw, unfiltered look at nature, and the practical effects are all about the real world—no CGI, just real paddles and real water. It’s not just a physical journey; it also explores themes of solitude, resilience, and the connection between man and nature. The absence of a known director gives it an almost grassroots feel, making it distinctive in its authenticity.
