The Last Descent Join a group of whitewater kayakers on their journey to some of the world’s most amazing rivers ... descending them possibly for the last time. Nepal's Marsyangdi River, Uganda's White Nile and India's Brahmaputra River all are threatened or are in the process of being destroyed by large-scale hydroelectric projects. The award winning film documents the struggle of indiginous people, the destruction of the environment and local economies while finding world class whitewater. The film closes with the movement to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.
