Together we have crafted a simple but timely and compelling story about the power of self-discovery in a beautiful and natural environment.

A group of five city-dwellers gamely sets out on a rafting trip of a lifetime. Led by a seasoned guide, they embark on a journey that transcends mere adrenaline rushes. As they navigate the river, with its unknowns, they’re confronted with challenges that test not just their physical prowess, but their understanding of themselves and the world around them. As the ten-day journey unfolds, bonds are forged, fears are conquered, and each traveler emerges from the river with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. Through the highs and lows of their rafting adventure, they discover that the true reward lies not just in conquering the river, but in mastering the currents of their own lives.
