Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk combines exhilarating river-rafting action on America's most iconic river, family fun and the grandeur of the Grand Canyon to tell an engaging story of how ordinary people can make a difference for our parched planet - one that is running out of clean, fresh water so fast that the U.N. estimates that 40% of the world could face life-threatening shortages by the year 2050.

Taking audiences on the illuminating rafting trip are two environmental heroes: world renowned river advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and author / anthropologist / explorer Wade Davis, accompanied by their daughter--Kick Kennedy and Tara Davis. They are guided by Shana Watahomigie, a member of the Havasupai tribe and the first Native American to become a National Park Ranger and river guide. A stirring score featuring sons and music form the Grammy Award - winning Dave Matthews band sets the mood for this adventure that explores the spiritual, artistic and life-sustaining powers of water--and makes crystal clear that each of us must do our part to better manage this crucial resource for the future.

"Safe fresh water is a human right like clean air, yet more then one-fifth of the world's people suffer without adequate clean water," says Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who recalls going down the Colorado just a few decades ago with his own father and seeing wide, sandy banks and animals that have since vanished. "My hope is that Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk will remind the world that restoring our waterway and conserving fresh water are important, not just in developing nations but here at home. The quality and survival of our civilization will depend on it."

"In our film, the Colorado River becomes a metaphor for global water issue, revealing how interconnected our rivers, water supply and human actions really are," says the film's two time Academy Award --nominated producer / director Greg MacGillivray. "A river trip is one of those amazing life events where you're ripped out of you daily routine and inspired to see the world in new ways. With IMAX images, we're able to put the audience even more into the action and let them participate in every twist and turn."
