When prayer meets silence, hope becomes a choice.

Making the film
Every rafting sequence was captured practically on the American River, including the film’s water stunts. No green screens. No studio tanks.
Filmed among the rugged canyons and forests of Auburn and Sacramento, California, Redemption River pairs cinematography by Joey Katches with water cinematography by Emmy-winning Scott and Dustin Lindgren, whose credits include The River Runner.
Post-production was completed at Kappa Studios, known for The Chosen and His Only Son.
