The River: A Year in the Life of The Tay

PLAY


Writer and naturalist Helen Macdonald traces the dramatic journey of Britain’s greatest river, the Tay, over an entire year.

Mixing natural history, cutting-edge science and historical biography with a spectacular travelogue, the film is a celebration of the river as it transforms from melting Highland snow to a vast torrent flowing into the cold North Sea.

The story of the Tay interweaves history and nature, human endeavour and misadventure, and ultimately captures how the balance of our complex lives is reflected in its constant winding silver thread.
