The great rivers of the world have shaped the very existence of humans and the ecosystems in which they live. The chief aim is to bring these river stories to life. From the fisherman, the hunter, the family and the power company worker, to the farmer, the trees, the predator and the prey. All have inspiring and thoughtful stories to reveal. Using the medium of multimedia storytelling, the 7 rivers, 7 continents project looks to engage through photofilms, photo essays, written word and film, all delivered via a unique interactive online platform. |
