It’s All Home Water | A Northern Light

[@laurenedele5886]

Riverhorse was my AP English teacher five million years ago. Glad to see he’s doing well!

[@helenk299]

The language used is just so captivating. I could listen to this guy talk any day!

[@thelocal713]

Riverhorse Nakadate was my Creative Writing Teacher about a decade ago…he was legendary! Even the most stressed and uptight students had absolutely respect and admiration for him.

[@zachkern5925]

Thank you to Patagonia for bringing attention to the beauty of the unbridled wilderness that is the BWCA, and what Polymet Mining is trying to do. This film brought me to tears, knowing that people in this world would destroy something so majestic, simply for monetary gain.

[@nickjones9304]

The BWCA is the crown jewel of my home state, Minnesota. If you have never been, put it on your list for must visit places. It's one of "Nat Geo's 50 places of a lifetime" for a reason. This place is medicine to the soul. HUGE thanks to Patagonia for bringing light to what's going on in terms of Mining efforts!

[@stanisbaratheon1]

Watching this was like a salve for the soul. The importance of protecting the Boundary Waters cannot be understated. I have been fortunate enough to experience the Boundary Waters in all of its beauty on two long trips - it's a sacred place, and one worth far more to the world than a thousand mines could ever make in a lifetime of revenue.

[@tbhayt]

Beautiful film. Truly breathtaking. And what a heartfelt narration! You could really hear his weathered soul, and the depths of his serenity in that natural environment. I find it hard sometimes, to come to terms with the fact that so few seem to value the natural world, so few recognise the power of nature to heal us, and connect us with our roots as individuals and as a species. We need nature, its coarseness, its unforgiving, unsympathetic exterior humbles us, keeps the hubris of mankind in check.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

That canoe is beautiful … the cinematography, stunning, and the capturing of a moment, perfect.

[@swoops8659]

beautiful Mr. Nakadate, i hope your son does big things ;)

[@__GaryHarris]

Pure Poetry of the Wilderness.

[@elijahsiems8766]

Amazing film and what could be better then knowing that your English teacher is the star of the film.

[@jgill4798]

Beautifully filmed. Been to the Boundary Waters and Quetico a dozen times and look forward to many more trips to nourish the soul. The thought of it being polluted just breaks my heart. If you feel the same please align with “Save the Boundary Waters” and/or “Boundary Waters Action Fund” to stop the mining

[@woodlandium]

Wonderful,, magestic wilderness, thank you

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

Save our wilderness areas. No compromise. Thank you.

[@debbiehartmann1467]

I have gone to the BWCA for 33 years in row. This video is amazing and speaks to my heart.

[@mattski1979]

Yosemite National Park did that to me. Lived there from Spring of 2000 to September 2002. Sick video. I'll let people know. Thank you for this. I appreciate it. .

[@daveenyart]

Thank you, thank you. I've taken some BWCA trip with my sons. In the future when my sons and grandkids return from a canoe trip I will asked them, "How are the lakes?". I pray that they reply, "The lakes are good grandpa".

[@johnstewart9691]

This man’s voice is almost more soothing than Morgan Freeman’s voice. Very well done video.

[@dylannew8875]

He was my senior English teacher in high school. Hands down the nicest guy.

[@bretschueneman1222]

Sounds like josh Lucas

[@ClarissaJacobson]

This was amazing thank you Patagonia for doing this for the BWCA

[@polinamal8802]

One of your best yet @Patagonia.

[@milesnolte6413]

Riverhorse never disappoints. One of the best outdoor writers and voices of our generation.

[@noahludford3667]

Been there, it never leaves me.

[@pjIslandbwoy13]

I can put this on repeat the whole day and have the same energy and positivity he is sharing to us all. Bigup!

[@RiverWhisperPrd]

Connected and spiritual...well done

[@BryanDore]

Patagonia always does beautiful work but this was especially poignant. Thank you!

[@PalCan]

Amazing. Brings a tear to the eye. Love from Canada

[@matthewlole7819]

What a profound start to a video with a truly moving and soothing speaker. Chills. Such beauty

[@GreatThrill]

Wow. This really captures what it is like there, and what would be lost if mining begins. Excellent work.

[@AaronShafferMPLS]

What a wonderful short film. Amazing work and thanks to everyone involved for bringing attention to this potential injustice. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness should be fully preserved, with no exceptions, forever.

[@schoeferfilm]

So awesome landscapes 👏😉👍🏻 #filmmakingismypassion

[@JackBQuick79]

Im gonna watch this a few times. Tonight.

[@graysonnolan4153]

This truly captures the beauty of this place. Well done!!

[@21Swayzee]

Amazing story, and hits home, as we continue to fight against the building of a Ferrochrome plant in the heart of the great lakes...Sault Ste. Marie.

[@soccerjockey]

One of my very favorite Patagonia docs!

[@smehall11]

My first experience of paddling was introduced to me in these waters. I cheerish that feeling, the sights, the cold, un-polluted lilly pads linning the prestine waters. Hope these waters, or any water sheds are not ruined or exposed to human destruction.

[@lloydchristmas_iii4310]

beautiful canoe!!! boundry waters will forever be my place

[@cecilemannion7977]

Stunningly beautiful film.

[@christopherrigby7207]

Poetic and wise.

[@jelitank]

what a beautiful film. Such excellent story telling.

[@DanJimB]

This is unbelievably beautiful.

[@marjorieherderhorst3487]

This a beautiful trip. My son, grandson and great grandson did this a few years ago. Keep nature clean!

[@luciearl]

AWESOME video. Almost in tears over the beauty, the tranquility, the continual risk it faces.

[@HarrisClifford]

Boahhh that film hits me hard, how deep and real, so right . Wow wow wow 🥺🥺 Right now i cried a little bit, thanks for this unreal film and story, its just unique 🖤🖤🖤🫶

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Thank you ❤

[@woodbox50]

Thank you, and thank you again many times over. My heart aches for this type of knowing deep within as Riverhorse has shown. As a Fly angler myself nature seeking has been a way of life for myself and partner. BUT, not at this level. knowing is key, seeing is the way. Absolutely spell bounding. Committed to learn and do more about this Mining project. #ItsAllHomeWater.

[@artpake2476]

The narration in this video is spectacular!!!! The scenery is the most amazing of what nature has to offer us. Very well done!!!

[@thegoodenoughangler]

Breathtaking! Had to watch it twice back to back.

[@HarrisClifford]

You can‘t do it better, nobody will ever top this, i really believe in that way 🙃

[@nathankossak1858]

I was lucky enough to be able to experience the boundary waters around age 13 on a week long canoe trip. The experience has never left me, it truly is the most amazing wildness I have ever explored. I hope it can remain as wild and pristine as it was when I explored it many years ago.

[@blankspaceadventures]

You should try to make it back there then!

[@Lewey8705]

Be sure to fight against the proposed mines. We Minnesotans need all the help we can get! The trump administration is dangerously close to pushing this through.

[@barbaradurr4170]

[@alotorre91]

Hey this was my English teacher! What an amazing video!

[@pearlstrong1182]

Beautiful! Makes me stop and take a deep breath.

[@buchayy]

Perfect combination of stunning pictures and profound narration. It's captivating

[@teslamarie_]

So important!

[@laffilmfest3759]

Beautiful boat.....nicely narrated....!

[@petecumming2793]

Beautiful. The mine also threatens the Quetico Provincial Park just north of the BWCA in Canada another world class canoe camping area.

[@WatchableWildlife]

Yes, paddled in the Quetico back in the late 1960's - extremely beautiful country!

[@VV-gx6sl]

Haha haha that’s maybe the time i was being thought about :)

[@Foxr6]

So good! I listen to this when I go to bed tonight 😌

[@ecosystemmember]

Incredible. Simply incredible.

[@harrison1671]

I was torn between so many emotions throughout this video. Am I to consume this video and go back to hoping it will all sort itself out? Has history taught me nothing?

[@drticktock4011]

Incredible! Need to really live!!!

[@Velobetty]

Thank you for this. Really beautiful and moving.

[@dougdavis8986]

Beautiful canoe

[@TheSlowMusicMovement]

[@michelemeixner7604]

The most beautiful video I’ve ever seen...thank you for your poetry of nature. It makes me miss the land of 10,000 lakes, my home, where I was born ❤️

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

Just beautiful.

[@CelticRedhead09]

This is absolutely stunning. Beautifully written, filmed, and felt. Thank you, and may we all come together to prevent harm to this irreplacable space.

[@constancecrassier5243]

thankyou for this beuatiful film & using your platform to raise awareness!!

[@juanguerrerofraile520]

hermosa cinematografía, narración fuera de serie y producción general completamente impresionante, una pieza magistral que debería difundirse. Necesitamos más cine comprometido con nuestra naturaleza.

[@michelleshainess5208]

So beautifully well done and BWCA is worth saving!

[@hajospathe1754]

Thank you Patagonia for this film - A Love letter to Wilderness. A Love letter to our beautiful world. Read by an amazing voice and captured and filmed by another but different company! Thanks for thinking different and sustainable! :)

Beautiful, powerful

[@josephrios6573]

You can see what nature teaches here and the effect it can have if one lets it

[@susannechakan4939]

made me cry...

[@its_paney5115]

This is the best narrating I've ever heard.

[@zacharyspeights8703]

Man's heart is aching/searching for a new home, a real home, an incorruptible home. 1 Peter 1:3-5 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."

[@yaatubb09]

Great video, beautiful combination of the images and the music which makes it a radcally but powerful message, thanks ! Does anyone perhaps know the names of the music ?
