Komarnica: The Wild That Remains (2026) - Full Short Documentary

What does it take to save a river?

Tucked beside Montenegro’s Durmitor National Park lies the Komarnica River, one of Europe’s last wild river canyons. It is an uncharted sanctuary, yet it faces an imminent threat: a planned hydropower dam that would drown this unique ecosystem, repeating the tragic history of the nearby Piva Valley.

"Komarnica: The Wild That Remains" follows a team of scientists and activists as they venture into depths few humans have ever seen. Driven by passion, deep love and respect for this place, this dedicated group is on a mission to document exactly what the world stands to lose. From hidden sinkholes to rare endemic species, their work serves as a shield for a place that cannot speak for itself.

But they aren't doing it alone. What began as a local effort has grown into a global collective. The Save Komarnica initiative has harnessed voices from around the world, proving that a wild river is worth far more than a megawatt.

This film is more than a documentary; it is a tribute to a landscape at a critical crossroads and a call to action for everyone who believes that a wild river is worth more than a megawatt.
Will the Montenegrin government allow this river to die, or will we choose a future where the Blue Heart of Europe continues to beat?
