2010 Documentary
Canada
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Owyhee River gorge deep in the SE Oregon desert, a group of ordinary Canadians embark on a journey of a lifetime down the one of the most remote rivers in the Lower 48. This incredible river journey is all the more remarkable as the core expedition members are all young adults and survivors of cancer.
In our modern age of technology, advanced medical care and support, many Canadians are surprised to learn that young adults with cancer face many unique challenges in their personal lives. They face not only the physical and mental challenges of the disease, but a far more subtle fight for acceptance and validation in their own society.
