bit.ly/costajunglefish For decades, the native peoples of Guyana have struggled for economic independence. Poverty and illiteracy have forced many of the adults into a life of lawlessness and poaching while their children often flee the country to seek work in Brazil's dangerous mines. But hope might be prowling in Guyana's rivers in the form of the largest freshwater fish in the world, the arapaima. Follow three expert fishermen as they undertake on a two-week voyage deep into the heart of Guyana's rainforest. Their mission: to demonstrate that the arapaima can be caught with a fly rod. If they succeed, it will prove that the country's fledgling sports fishing industry is viable. And that will mean a brighter future for the native peoples, the rainforest they call home -- and the endangered arapaima itself.

Using catch-and-release fishing to promote local economies and preserve the natural world.

WAYPOINTS Following in the footsteps of Confluence’s earlier releases DRIFT, RISE and CONNECT, WAYPOINTS is the most exotic, ambitious and in-depth feature-length project that Confluence has ever created. Shot around the world in both fresh and saltwater, locations include flats fishing St. Brandon’s Atoll in the Indian Ocean, trout fishing the wilds of Patagonian Chile, coastal Southeast Alaska for Steelhead, the Himalayan rivers of India for Golden Mahseer, and the jungles of Venezuela for saber-toothed payara. Confluence has become known for great stories, interesting character profiles, soulful interviews, an amazing diversity of species, and the finest cinematography in the world of fly fishing. WAYPOINTS delivers on all of these things and more. An incredible travel-logue-style fishing film that truly showcases not only the fly fishing lifestyle, but the journey itself as seen through the eyes of anglers Oliver White, Jeff Currier, Greg Bricker, Gerhard Laubscher, Rooster Leavens, and several other interesting and unique characters. New trailer from Confluence Films' new release, WAYPOINTS, on DVD and in theaters throughout the country on Friday, November 8, 2013. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Confluence Films | http://www.confluencefilms.tv/ Simms | http://www.simmsfishing.com Yellow dog Flyfishing | http://www.yellowdogflyfishing.com/ Costa Sunglasses | https://www.costadelmar.com/ Yeti Coolers | http://www.yeticoolers.com/ Hatch Premium Reels | http://www.hatchoutdoors.com/ Drake Magazine | http://www.drakemag.com/
