Film Lens
The Undamaged focuses on the environmental issues facing the Balkans, particularly the threat to its wild rivers from hydro power plants. The film follows the Balkan Rivers Tour, a group of kayakers and activists who travel across Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Albania for 36 days. They kayak 23 rivers to protest against the construction of over 2,700 planned hydro power plants that threaten the region's ecosystems.
