Remains of a River

From October 2011 to January 2012, Will Stauffer-Norris and Zak Podmore hiked and paddled from Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains to Mexico following the Colorado River system from its farthest inland source to the sea, filming and narrating on the fly. The resulting film series, Remains of a River, is an unforgettable story of friendship, adventure and environmental degradation. At turns inspiring and alarming, these ten short works will have you laughing, marveling, shaking your head, and maybe planning an adventure of your own.

In the summer of 2012,  a new Remains of a River episode premiered every Friday. You can get each installment below, from NRS Films (where you can catch the full-length movie), or from our YouTube or Vimeo channel.
