GC-07. Big Water Theory

France, Feature Documentary, 2024, 83 min

Winner at the 2024 Banff Mountain Film Festival

Kayak superstar Nouria Newman, with the support of childhood friends, barrels down the most dangerous whitewater on earth: the Rondu Gorge of Pakistan’s Indus River. The Indus has nearly continuous Class V rapids numbering 200 throughout the gorge. Nouria is attempting the first descent of the Rondu Gorge by a woman, though few men have accomplished this amazing feat. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Karakoram mountains, the film highlights the irreversible nature of the sport, with heart-pounding descents that test the kayakers’ psychological and physical limits. Subtitled.

Directed by Emile Dominé
