  • The USA Rafting Team has never won a world championship. With full-time jobs, families, and responsibilities, these scrappy 30-40-year olds use their free time and vacation days to train, travel the world, and race against competitors sometimes half their age. They’ve been close, but never the best. On January 13, 2017, they set their sights on making history, attempting to break a legendary speed record down 277 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Their goal was 34 hours. In a custom-built 50 foot raft and with ultramarathon effort, "The Time Travelers" is the story of ordinary people attempting something extraordinary on one of the world’s most breathtaking stages. 34 hours - just a blip in the scope of geological history - could be both their defining moment and the ride of their lives.

      Yeah. He's a highly experienced boatman and was initially on set just to give Emile Hersch some training for the scenes where he's kayaking down the Grand Canyon. Sean Penn then decided he was a good fit for the role of Rainey.

    "There are very few things which present challenge in life..." interesting observation, especially with the fact that this is a team of White Men- who do not have to worry about daily experiences with discrimination, oppression and or other barriers of wellbeing.
    The "Spirit of adventure" in this context is a privilege- for those who dont need to deal with danger on a daily basis.
