Classic Footage from Alaska’s Susitna
Barney Griffith’s classic movie shows Darwon Stoneman, Mike Hughes and crew descending the gnarly water of Alaska's Susitna River in archaic equipment. We just wish the sound hadn't been lost in Youtube translation. Griffith put the movie together as part of a film school project after participating in Rob Lesser's 1976 trip in which ABC documented the expedition.

That is awesome footage, super sick and deeply inspiring. LOVE it! Bummer on the audio, six minutes of silent whitewater is a long time. Would it be taboo to overlay some music or even stock 'whitewater sound'? Rob Lesser is the man! woo-Hoo!
