Summary The Whanganui River in New Zealand is the first river in the world to be recognized as a legal person. Māori river guardian Ned Tapa invites a First Nations Elder from Australia and his daughter, who are activists dedicated to saving their own dying river back home, on a canoe trip down Whanganui. Made in close collaboration with the Whanganui Māori, the film is a positive, urgent call to action for the rights of nature.
