"A truly excellent documentary that weaves incredible historic, political and adventure stories simultaneously. Hardcore in the truest sense of the word. These guys were fearless, innovative, charming and resourceful. Just when you think the story couldn't take another twist – BAM! – you're hit with a new head jerk sense of incredulity. It's rare for us to get such an in-depth insight into a largely unknown pioneering expedition. The historic footage, layered with excellent illustrations and animations and interviews with the team reveal the impact this river adventure had on their lives and astonishingly due to timing and triggered events, on their home country of Poland.”
Steve Scott, Kendal Mountain Film Festival Director

“It’s the type of legendary river story that is so wild, unbelievable, and yet somehow true that it needs to be known by every river enthusiast, just like the story of Everest, Tenzing Norgay, and Sir Edmund Hillary is known to every mountain climber.”⁣
Ben Stookesberry, 2007 Nat Geo Adventurer of the Year

”The flawless editing, remarkable character development and narrative arc - emphasized by archives and animations - carry us through the story as if we were swept up in the rapid current of a wild river...”

"Too often we forget that we stand on the shoulders of the giants that have come before us. This film immerses us in the humor, challenge, and never-ending drama of the first descent of the deepest canyon in the world while masterfully using archival footage, animation, and characters to situate the moment with historical context. It reminds us that iconic stories from the past are still every bit as relevant today."
Bryan Smith, Banff Mountain Film Festival Jury Member 

“The dynamic and visually attractive film combines adventure, sports, history, and politics, providing a glimpse into complex events that changed the world.”
