The Green Race
(World Premiere Showing)

This is the story of a world-class whitewater race held every November near Saluda, N.C. The film captures the grace and excitement of Class 5+ kayaking as well as the unique character of The Green Race, a grassroots event that draws the top athletes in kayaking from around the world. The film is told in two interwoven narratives: one created through interviews with professional paddlers who compete in the race, and the second which follows the experiences of an amateur kayaker training to compete for the first time.
