Beyond the River is based on the true story of paddlers Siseko Ntondini and Piers Cruikshanks. In 2013 Siseko, a young canoeist from Soweto, went out on a limb and asked Piers, a nine-time Dusi gold-winner, to partner with him in the 2014 Dusi Canoe Marathon.

While training for this epic sporting event, the two men developed a deep trust in each other and an understanding of the different worlds they inhabit. To top it off, the team went home with the gold! Don’t miss this flick for a thrilling adventure story about the triumph of the human spirit.
