River is a 2021 documentary film directed by Jennifer Peedom and Joseph Nizeti. The two alongside Robert Macfarlane wrote a narration spoken by Willem Dafoe, which explores the relationship between humans and rivers, as well as how to protect it. The film argues that rivers are a vital source of life, and that dams are lethal to the welfare of rivers and human life.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film team hired an array of cinematographers worldwide to shoot footage. Like Peedom's previous documentary Mountain, the Australian Chamber Orchestra composed the score, with Radiohead and Johnny Greenwood aiding. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, and received generally-positive reviews.
