 Synopses for Where the Rivers Flow North (1993)
1.

Rip Torn was critically acclaimed for his commanding performance in this 1993 drama set in Virginia in 1927. Where the Rivers Flow North is about an old-time logger who defends his property against a pair of power-company executives (Michael J. Fox and Bill Raymond) seeking to build a dam on Torn's leased land. Native American actress Tantoo Cardinal is equally superb as Torn's longtime partner and ardent supporter, and the strength of their relationship is what gives this modestly budgeted, beautifully photographed independent feature most of its high-spirited appeal. The film, adapted from a novel by Howard Frank Mosher, was written and directed by Jay Craven, and would likely have earned Rip Torn an Oscar nomination had it been more widely seen at the time of its release. --Jeff Shannon

3.  "Stunning." -Philadelphia Inquirer

The spectacular buy unforgiving terrain of 1927 Vermont sets the stage for this collision between high-stakes progress and a frontier way of life.

Legendary Yankee log-driver Noel Lord (Academy Award-nominated Rip Torn) defies power company boss, Clayton Farnsworth (Michael J. Fox) who orders Lord and his feisty American Indian mate (Tantoo Cardinal) off their soon-to-be-flooded land. Farnsworth never met a man he couldn't buy...but then, he'd never met Noel Lord.

Stunning performances by a star-studded cast make this an unforgettable frontier adventure and a humorous and touching love story.
