Upstream

About This Movie

Upstream is a pretty unique documentary that takes you on a journey along the River Dee, shot entirely from the air. You get this sweeping perspective that really captures the majesty of the Scottish landscape. The pacing is contemplative, letting you soak in the scenery and the subtle changes in the river’s flow. There’s a distinct meditative quality to it, almost like a visual poem about nature’s rhythm. The cinematography is the star here, with practical aerial shots that are nothing short of stunning. It’s not your typical documentary filled with voices or talking heads; the absence of narration invites personal reflection. It’s a different way to experience the narrative of a river and what it means to the land and culture around it.
