Stuck in Stikine

About This Movie

So, 'Stuck in Stikine' takes this group of five guys - you’ve got two businessmen, a seasoned traveler, a cameraman, and their guide. The setting is the Stikine River, which they want to conquer. But then winter hits, and they find themselves in a precarious situation. What’s interesting is how the film captures the tension between nature and these guys' ambition. The pacing feels real, almost like you’re right there with them, experiencing the cold and uncertainty. The practical effects of the river’s raw power really stand out; it’s not just a documentary, it’s kind of a meditation on risk and human folly. The performances, especially the camaraderie and conflict, add layers to their journey. It’s not flashy, but there’s something raw and compelling about it.
