Chasing The Bono explores Indonesia’s Kampar River and its legendary tidal bore, known as Bono. This extraordinary wave, stretching more than 13 miles and surfable for over an hour, has drawn adventurers from across the globe, but the film looks deeper than the thrill of surfing. It highlights how the Kampar River shapes the lives of surrounding communities, providing food, livelihoods, and cultural identity. By sharing this story, the film reminds us that rivers are more than natural wonders, they are economic and spiritual backbones, vulnerable to the same pressures facing waterways everywhere. Chasing The Bono inspires by showing how connection, whether through tradition, recreation, or livelihood, can fuel conservation, proving that when people value their rivers, they are moved to protect them.
