The Last Descent is an epic movie. It Chronicals the adventures of some of the worlds best expedition kayakers on a one year journey around the world in search of epic white water, adventure and answers. Along the way they meet many local and indigoes people living sustainable lives along the rivers. This film helps bring to light the plight of these people who face relocation from the construction of new dams. The movie also shows some of the amazing white water and pristine river that will be drown and permanently altered after the construction of these dams.
All the rivers they floated have one thing in comon, Dams. For many rivers the damage has already been done. For other rivers there is still hope. The last free flowing rivers need to be protected. Small groups of people can make a difference. Here in California there has been many tragic stretches of river lost to the construction of Dams. All the rivers you see being kayaked in Green Rush end in dams. It's time to protect what we have left and preserve our last wild places. Right now a proposed Dam Expansion project threatens to destroy 4 miles of the Mokelumne River known as Middle Bar. Please help by joining the Foothill Conservancy in their fight to save this stretch with a national wild and scenic designation.
