Big Water Theory – Nouria Newman
Follow whitewater kayaker Nouria Newman and two childhood friends on their expedition through one of the world’s most challenging river sections: the Rondu Gorge of the Indus River in Pakistan. Big Water Theory documents the first full descent of this section by a woman, cementing Nouria’s legendary status in the sport.
The film, which won Best Film for Mountain Sports at the 2024 Banff Mountain Film Festival, offers an in-depth exploration of the spirit of adventure and big water kayaking, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the thrilling yet little-known world of this spectacular sport. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Karakoram Mountains, the kayakers showcase the unique essence of big water kayaking. Far from being a relentless battle against the elements, it emerges as a constant exercise in observation, reading the river, and seeking harmony with a natural force that can be both gentle and unforgiving.
