The last time that I saw white water summer was in August of 2003.After that I have not seen it on cable which has upset me because I loved that movie.It is on my top 5 all time favorite movie.What got me into this movie is imagining that you were allan and the thrill you had to go through crossing that terrifying bridge by yourself and then being forced to cross it again to get the tent poles but with night approaching.The bond between the four guys to survive during the storm was also am excellent piece.But the best part in the movie for me was when allan caught the fishes but not using nature method.This made vick upset and left him on the islet alone for a night and ordered him to gut and clean the fishes. I am originally from Trinidad and I went to the states for a vacation and was hugely disappointed when I searched for the movie but to no avail.I checked major DVD outlets and flee markets.I hope that they can air the movie on cable ,because thats the only way that I can see it.
