About the film

The River is about the bonds of friendship between a few locals who work tirelessly to protect the river that runs through their small town of Hancock, New York.

Up against powerful organizations in New York City and the state, they still show up day after day, year after year, to try and move the needle a tiny bit.

As the film unfolds, the private wounds our characters are nursing become more apparent, giving us a glimpse into their personal reasons for showing up with such single-minded dedication to their “River family.”
