The Same River Twice is a 2003 film by Robb Moss, described by the Sundance Channel as follows: "in 1978, filmmaker Robb Moss joined 16 free-spirited friends for a month-long rafting trip down the what is assumed to be the Salmon river.
The excursion was captured in a short film, Riverdogs, a visual celebration of naked, exuberant youth set against the spectacular vistas of the Grand Canyon.
Now, a quarter-century later Moss tracks down five of his old comrades for a witty and insightful now-and-then portrait to see how they have fared after coping with children, careers, responsibilities, ageing and changing attitudes.
"[1] Two of the five are Jeff Golden and Cathy Shaw, shown in the 1970s as a young couple in love, and then in 2000, divorced with two children.
The title refers to a traditional saying "you cannot step into the same river twice", which dates to Ancient Greek philosophy – see Panta rhei (Heraclitus).
