Katie T 1 day ago Another captivating and emotional love letter to the nature of Texas from Fin and Fur Films. Educational, inspiring, enchanting, I could go on. It’s not just a story of rivers, it’s a story of survival, courage, determination and love.

Thank you for creating this film! An incredible gift to us all! See more Brenda S @BabaS 1 day ago Excellent cinematography! Viewers are in for a treat when they watch this film! See more R T @RT21806890 1 day ago This movie sheds light on the importance of conserving and restoring Texas rivers. This topic should not be taken lightly. Ben Masters and his team have done a wonderful job portraying the beauty of Texas, but also how critical it is to spread awareness about how our rivers are being depleted because of private land use, dams, residential use, and how we can all participate in reversing the damage being done. They did a wonderful job with the cinematography. There is certainly hope for our rivers if we all don’t turn a blind eye to what is happening. Very important film. Beautifully done. See more Erin M @RT01898866 2 days ago The picture quality is absolutely amazing - I was so impressed by the animal close ups. Great message about protecting Texas rivers in a way that is fun, beautiful, and practical without being preachy. Loved it! See more Read all reviews
