Bend In The River

Drawing on nearly five decades of filmmaking, documentary pioneer Robb Moss crafts a deeply moving portrait of friendship, aging, and the passage of time. Returning to the group of free-spirited friends he first filmed as young river guides navigating the Colorado River in the 1970s, Moss weaves together footage from across their lives, from youthful days spent rafting through the Grand Canyon and living outside the conventions of modern society, to the complexities of middle age, and now into their seventies. As the latest chapter in a remarkable trilogy that began with Riverdogs and continued with The Same River Twice, The Bend in the River follows Moss and his friends as they reflect on the choices they made, the lives they built, and the uncertainties that remain ahead. Executive produced by Academy Award winners Frances McDormand and Joel Coen, the film transforms an intimate circle of friends into something universal: a poignant and often humorous meditation on mortality, memory, and the unfinished work of living. Richly observed and profoundly affecting, The Bend in the River demonstrates cinema's singular ability to capture the fleeting moments that shape a life before they drift downstream.DocumentaryPT1H22M2026-10-04USen
