The Impossible River Journey
The Norwegian adventurer Helge Hjelland has set out to cross the African continent by canoe. Along his journey he picks up Joseph, an illegal refugee from South Sudan without any identity papers. Together they become partners in this journey. It is a film about the diverse meetings through South Africa. It is a portrait of the best and worst in human kind. And it is also a refugee story, set in a country still struggling to get out of its shadows from apartheid.
