Waterwalk, a surprise hit delighting audiences across the Midwest, is coming to the Dogwood Center. Shot on location in Newaygo and Muskegon counties and across the Midwest, the film features some of the region’s best known scenery and actors.
The story of a suddenly unemployed workaholic dad who takes a dangerous 1,000 mile canoe trip with the adopted son he barely knows, Waterwalk is based on the true story of Steve and Justin Faulker’s attempt to become the first single canoe team to retrace the dangerous discovery route of the Mississippi from St. Ignace to St. Louis. Braving rough water, big storms, flood stage rivers, and portaging larger sections of the heavily dammed Fox, the Faulkers nearly run out of money, become local celebrities, and confront the ultimate challenge, boredom. Waterwalk is a memorable journey through middle America that defines our nation and informs the heart. The film has played at nearly 100 Midwest cinemas and is now expanding nationally.
This event will feature local cast and members of the production team who shot key scenes on the Muskegon River, Croton Pond, Muskegon and White Lake, and Lake Michigan.
Waterwalk has been “family approved” by the Dove Foundation and is rated PG. For more information and to view the trailer click here: www.waterwalkthemovie.com
