In January, the USA Rafting team attempted to shoot the canyon in a custom rig built to break a speed record. A documentary about the effort hits the screen in March.
The eight-man team had lofty goals: Paddle the 277-mile Grand Canyon along the Colorado River in 34 hours. That meant no stopping and no sleeping, just a monumental effort and a custom, 48-foot cataraft.
The impressive attempt was captured on film and will be screened exclusively at select REI locations and breweries ahead of a wider March 13 release.
It’s free to attend the screenings, which will have food, drinks, and raffles. All proceeds go to American Rivers. Check the dates and locations below for a screening near you.
