The Balkans cradles Europe's last wild rivers and supports abundant wildlife and healthy, intact ecosystems. These rivers are "The Undamaged" – clean, pristine, and undammed. With over 2,700 small and large hydro power plants planned or under construction in the Balkans, corruption and greed are destroying the last free-flowing rivers of Europe. Follow the Balkan Rivers Tour, a rowdy crew of whitewater kayakers, filmers, photographers and friends who decided to stand up for the rivers, travelling from Slovenia to Albania for 36 days, kayaking 23 rivers in 6 countries to protest the dams and show the world the secret wild rivers of the Balkans. The film honours everyday people and local activists who are fighting to defend rivers and aims to spread the word of the plight of these rivers, showing a new style of nature conservation that is fun, energetic and effective.

The story is told through different points of view. A woman loves everything green, her husband loves his car, a magician knows the secrets of the stars, a professor knows everything about sound and a cyclist solves a difficult problem. A surreal travel through time and space.

Four kayakers (ab)use rafting as a means to catch fish on Slovenia’s chalk stream called Krka. Casting flies amongst castles and cattails, this became the arena for a gruelling competition that applied pressure of all kinds.

Flowing from the heart of the Julian Alps all the way to Belgrade, crossing four countries and many landscapes before reaching the Danube, the Sava is the home river for most of the team behind and in front of the camera of this film. But despite living next to it, many never use the chance to really get to know it. Join four kayakers for an exciting, 11-day journey across the entire Slovenian part of the river.

In Slovenia's Soča River, a group of kayakers swap paddles for rods, chasing the elusive endemic trout beneath emerald waters. A playful film where misadventure meets conservation - and the river becomes both classroom and playground.

Blue Heart tells the story of the last wild river system in Europe and the people fighting to protect it.
