The documentary was inspired by Kathlee Jo Ryan's book Writing Down the River: Into the Heart of the Grand Canyon (Northland Publishing), winner of the Willa Cather Literary Award for 1999 Best Memoir/Essay. In the book, 15 distinguished women writers share their experiences of rafting the Colorado River illustrated with Ryan's passionate photography. Four of the writers returned for their second river journey, this time together. They spend nine days in the heart of the Grand Canyon rafting through 226 miles of wilderness. During this journey they renew their personal relationship to wilderness. Writing Down the River witnesses the passage of these four women. VHS Color Stereo. Running Time: 57 minutes.
