BOISE — A sweeping new film project by Visit Idaho is spotlighting the state’s legendary rivers and whitewater culture through a feature-length documentary and six-part docuseries titled “The 3100.” Named for Idaho’s 3,100 miles of navigable whitewater—the most of any state in the Lower 48—the project aims to capture the power, beauty and cultural relevance of Idaho’s rivers and the people who live, work and play along them.

The documentary is set to premiere May 14 at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise. The public is invited to attend the free screening, with tickets available in advance through Showclix.
“This is the most ambitious storytelling project Visit Idaho has ever taken on,” said Natalie Jushinski, tourism manager for Visit Idaho. “We created ‘The 3100’ to go beyond traditional tourism promotions and put viewers directly into the state’s whitewater experiences exactly as they are—raw, powerful and unforgettable.”
The film includes cinematic footage of whitewater rafting, kayaking and jet boat tours on rivers including the Selway, Bruneau, Salmon, Snake, Payette, Lochsa and St. Joe. The accompanying docuseries, launching May 21 on Visit Idaho’s YouTube channel, focuses more closely on the individual rivers and the guides and residents connected to them.

The film is a collaboration with Victor-based Fisher Creative, a production company known for its work in outdoor storytelling.
Visit Idaho partnered with the Idaho Outfitters & Guides Association to ensure local voices and expertise shaped the project.
In addition to the Boise premiere, Visit Idaho plans to submit the documentary to film festivals across the U.S. and internationally throughout 2025 and 2026.
