White Water Summer is a 1987 American drama film directed by Jeff Bleckner. School is out for the summer, and a group of young teenagers go on a hike with Vic, an experienced guide. One teen, Alan, butts head with Vic during the film as Vic's attempts to teach life lessons annoy Alan. The more defiant Alan gets, the more extreme the lessons come from Vic. Alan's defiance and Vic's aggressive lessons culminate in disaster and Vic winds up breaking his leg. Alan then has to use his skills and some of Vic's to get down from the mountain. White Water Summer was originally produced as Rites of Summer in 1985, and given its current name upon release in 1987. The film's action is framed by commentary from the now-older character of Alan (Sean Astin), as he remembers a camping trip led by Vic (Kevin Bacon). The narration was filmed two years after the movie itself; Astin is noticeably older. The film was photographed by John Alcott, a frequent collaborator of Stanley Kubrick. (Alcott died shortly after the release of the movie, which is dedicated to his memory.) Scenes were shot in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, as well as in Canadian and New Zealand locales.
