Dove Review

“WaterWalk” is the coming of age story focusing on Justin, the adopted son of Steve and Joy Faulkner. Justin and Steve have a strained relationship and Justin seeks to come closer to his father. The two embark on a canoe journey following the rout taken by Marquette and Joliet who discovered the Mississippi river. Along the way the two face struggles, show courage and meet new friends as they are forced to work together.

“WaterWalk” is filmed mainly in the great outdoors and the scenery is truly breathtaking. Some great Michigan Upper Peninsula scenes are featured in the movie. There are moral lessons and faith is a sincere part of their journey as Justin and Steve take the time to worship in a few churches along the way. This is a movie of bonding and taking the time to show your family just how important they are to you. We are pleased to award “WaterWalk” our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 and over.
