Film: Waterwalker / NFB
Bill Mason’s Waterwalker is available in full online—if you’ve just got a couple minutes check out the awesome whitewater canoeing sequence that starts at 46:00 minutes in!
This feature-length documentary follows naturalist Bill Mason on his journey by canoe into the Ontario wilderness. The filmmaker and artist begins on Lake Superior, then explores winding and sometimes tortuous river waters to the meadowlands of the river’s source. Along the way, Mason paints scenes that capture his attention and muses about his love of the canoe, his artwork and his own sense of the land.
