The documentary, will encapsulate the
unique geographical beauty of this great river and culture that lives
on its banks, through the eyes of an international expedition who
will also be acquainting themselves with the local adivasis of the
region. The production house will send an international team of 22
professional rafters from the US, UK, Canada, Germany and India in
November in an attempt to descend the majestic waters of the Brahmaputra
in north east India. Miditech plans to tie up with international distributors
to market this film to channels across the world. |

| The group will undertake an
eight day expedition to tackle the rapids. The white water rafters
will roller coaster 180 kms on one of the most powerful and untamed
rivers of the Indian subcontinent. Riding on to grade four and grade
five rapids, these riders will test their skill, resilience and strength.
The film will trace the arduous route up to the starting point from
Tuting through Yinkeong west to the final destination of Pasighat,
says Miditech. |

living along the river and worshipping the Donyi- Polo (Sun-Moon).
