For Benji – a Tribute to Benjamin Hjort
A wonderful tribute by Kiwi paddler/movie director Josh Neilson to the late Benjamin Hjort aka Benji who disapeared this year in an avalanche skiing back country lines.
« Ever since I have been coming to Norway Benji was always there waiting to take us kayaking. His enthusiasm always made for such amazing times on and off the water. His huge smile and laugh could be seen and heard a mile away and he was always grinning ear to ear at the bottom of every rapid. This film is a compilation of footage from my years in Voss and some really lovely footage sent in by friends from all over the world! Thanks Heidi, Adrian, Alpha, and Isaac for your help on this. Much love to you Benji from all the kayakers and adventurers from all over the world. We will miss you forever! » Josh Neilson.
