The 80-minute film “Voyagers Without Trace” invites
viewers on a treasure hunt with filmmaker Ian Mc-
Cluskey as he uncovers what happened to three French
adventurers who became the first to kayak down the
Green and Colorado rivers in 1938 but then disappeared
into obscurity. For the film, McCluskey had to learn to
kayak and take on the infamous whitewater of the
Green and Colorado rivers in just a few short weeks. The
film will be screened twice during the Astoria Interna-
tional Film Festival. Submitted photo
