River to the Heart

About This Movie

So, 'River to the Heart' is this reflective documentary where Eddy L. Harris, now in his sixties, decides to canoe down the Mississippi again, just like back in '88 with 'Mississippi Solo.' The tone is contemplative, almost meditative, capturing both the physical journey and the inner transformation that comes with age. There's a raw authenticity in how Harris interacts with the river and its surrounding landscape. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing you to truly soak in the sights and sounds of the river. It’s not just about the adventure; it dives into themes of nostalgia, change, and connection with nature. The film's visuals are striking, and you get a sense of the river's spirit, which feels almost like a character in its own right.
