Film, Writing, and Conservation

Riverhorse Nakadate has starred in three films, Love & Water, A Northern Light, and The Reindeer Journals, each one an extension of the same work that fills his essays and his memoir: bearing witness to wild water and the people who defend it. The stories behind these films appear in his writing for Patagonia and in Water Lines.
