WHY
Спорт
Iceland. A cold, rugged and forbidding landscape where powerful rivers plunge through bedrock gorges, over massive waterfalls, toward the sea. Director Hugo Clouzeau and a crew of French kayakers travel here to ask the question, “Why?”
“Why? Why do we do this?”
In the GoPro age, images of extreme feats flood our social media streams. We watch skiers drop into impossibly steep and narrow shoots. We follow jumpers in wing suits flying over mountains. We see climbers, slackliners, mountain bikers and paddlers doing things that appear to most people insane, but the action seems empty when we don’t understand the motivation behind it. “Why?” we ask. “Why do they do this?”
WHY, a short film from NRS and We Are Hungry, goes beyond the spectacle of extreme kayaking in search of an elusive answer.

Society is safety, low risk, creating order, rules, routine. We evolved for millions of years confronting fear and lack of control on a daily basis. It is no wonder that we crave freedom and danger, in small doses or large. Beautiful film guys, well done.

Mathematics, the only complete none bias and none prejudice consistent science, denies evolution, not only millions of times over impossibility, but Billions of times. Therefore, it's not about society and government having rules, but that people as you simply don't care and never have. You would save a rats ass before you faced reality looking into a mirror.

The most inspiring video I have ever seen! Really guys, honest respect.
well said.
These are so good. Beautiful edits.
Brilliant film.
Beautiful, makes me want to go home to Iceland... Namaste 🕉️
amazing, wonderful vídeo
fantastic!
WOW!!! Congrats!!!
Late to the party, but ... As a ww kayaker myself, standing in front of those waterfalls and rapids in Iceland, I was wondering: "this is suicide.." But people definitely survive there. (pardon my sense of humour). You're great! To carry the Jackson over all those rocks there already... . I cursed that part of our adventures a lot. Keep posting! Oh ... and at 5.55 the orange Jacks looks like a (orange) killer whale on the hunt. Nice images!!! Keep posting! 👍👍👍
Magnifique !
beautiful.
Awesomeness.
Amazing
I love it.
Why, adrenaline, the rush. Those who feel it, those who love it will do it with anything. The real question is why doesn't everyone crave it. How do you love life if you're not on the edge.
Dingue!!!Toutes les images sont énormes😱
so beautiful
crazy first drop
So so good! Saw some of these waterfalls when I was in Iceland. Didn't even cross my mind someone was going to run them! hahaha!!!
Nice video. I hope there is no garbage left behind you in that beautiful nature.

yeah: not to completely belittle their fun but in all that emotional propaganda text, i couldn't help but contrast the use of the terms "primitive" & "simplicity" to the fact that almost everything you see (via sophisticated cameras & drones) is made of hightech plastics & that they don't atall seem to be "making the most of what's around us" when they have to bring all that stuff in - &, hopefully, out again - with them.
so badass!
Ahah, on s'est rencontré dans l'avion pour aller en Islande (vous m'aviez filmé pendant que je dormais à côté de Louis) et on s'est croisé au bord des glaciers. Je trouve ça vraiment drôle car avec les étudiants de ma cohorte nous organisons la diffusion de votre film en association avec le Reel paddling film festival dans la ville de Saguenay au Québec ! Vous étiez bien sympathiques, très beau film, très inspirant :)
so cool
This is good

John 14:6 Jesus saith, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father except by me.
did not expect a frenchman to be whispering about willies in my left ear. Thumbs down.
Now look at me...I'm a fucking sociopath!!!
Q: WHY? A: Because "extreme" "sports" people Don't. Care. They don't really love anyone, and no one really loves them. It's that simple. The thrill of it is the small part of the why, but not caring is the real reason.
