River
River
Orchestral concert film, taking a journey along rivers around the world accompanied by music composed by Richard Tognetti and William Barton. Footage from different landscapes reveal how rivers have shaped the world, creating caverns, valleys and fertile plains, and revealing how they have shaped the history of human civilisation, and been affected by it in turn. Narrated by Willem Dafoe
River airs on BBC Four HD at 11:40 PM, Sunday 14 September. (Subtitles.)
