SAFFA19: Beyond the River

Two Lives. One Journey.

“A beautifully shot, heartfelt, true-life South African story.” — IOL

Duma is a talented but idle young man who finds himself on the wrong side of the law, while Steve is a nine-time Dusi Canoe Marathon gold medalist whose marriage is on the verge of collapse. Through a series of unexpected events, the two men find themselves attempting the three-day Dusi - the biggest and most challenging canoeing event in Africa, as a doubles pair - a bold collaboration that demands sacrifice and dedication if they’re to master the river. Inspired by an exhilarating true story, Beyond the River delivers a nail-biting adventure story about the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
