Coming Soon : Canada Video: Documentary / Adventure Travelogue:

"CANADA - River Adventures in British Columbia"

An adventure travel video, featuring different types of whitewater boating, popular in southwestern Canada. The original first edition of the film (title: Rafting The Rim - Canada's Fraser River Watershed) won the Creative Excellence Award in the Flagstaff International Film Festival (Leisure & Recreation category).

This is a new and improved edition of the original video. After returning to Canada for German TV, we added breathtaking aerial footage of the Fraser Canyon, as captured from a helicopter. We also included a broader spectrum of information for visitors to the region, as well as a sequence about Canada's First Nations and their traditional economic dependence on the Fraser's annual Salmon runs. A German language adaption of this documentary is currently licensed to WDR TV, Germany (and their European media pool for Germany, Austria & Switzerland).

Travelogue Video Description:

The Fraser River is the world's largest commercially rafted river. It is four times larger than the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Only gigantic motorized pontoon rafts can handle the mighty turbulences of such "big water." Ths video travelogue features adventures from mild to wild and touches on the regions' fascinating history. Capturing the journey through Hell's Gate and other spectacular natural settings, the film highlights encounters with a herd of Big Horn Sheep, as well as a young Black Bear, only within a paddles' reach. Hands-on rafting on the Thompson and a taste of kayak touring on the Nahatlatch, lend additional glimpses into the abundant variety of adventure travel and outdoor vacations in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
