Quatre américains de classe moyenne, Ed Gentry, Lewis Medlock, Bobby Trippe et Drew Ballinger décident de consacrer leur week-end à la descente en canoé d'une impétueuse rivière située au nord de la Géorgie. Ils envisagent cette expédition comme un dernier hommage à une nature sauvage et condamnée par la construction d'un futur barrage. Mais les dangers qu'ils affronteront ne proviendront pas uniquement des flots tumultueux de la rivière...

Kudzu

Oct 01, 1977
Kudzu, or Pueraria Thunbergiana, is a vine threatening to take over large portions of the Southern landscape. Imported from Japan by the Departement of Agriculture in the 30's for erosion control, its spreading growth has become a problem of menacing proportions. Kudzu is an off-beat, witty, informative documentary about the vine that is devouring the South. Featuring the Kudzu Queen, the Kudzu rock band, a cast of real-life characters and an appearance by former President Jimmy Carter, it illustrates how Southern cultural traditions have quickly grown up around a botanical pest. The eminent American poet and novelist James Dickey ("Deliverance"), recites three stanzas of his poem, "Kudzu."
