“The Soča is not simply a river. It is a story that has taken decades to write, and one we are still learning how to protect.”
In Slovenia, at the heart of the wild and largely untouched Triglav National Park, springs one of the most beautiful rivers in the world — the Soča. After only 140 kilometres it flows into the Adriatic. Its turquoise waters are home to the marble trout (Salmo marmoratus), a species pulled back from the edge of extinction by researchers, fish farmers and fishing clubs.
Salmo marmoratus
Once nearly lost to hybridization, this native jewel of the Soča survived only thanks to the patient work of biologists, fish farmers, and local fishing clubs. Emerald Paradise tells their story.
Fly fishing is more than a hobby. It's a way of paying attention — to water, to light, to the small living details of a river. Shot in 4K HDR with Dolby Surround across every season, Emerald Paradise brings viewers as close as possible to the wild canyons of the Soča, and to the quiet work of protecting them.
〰 Focus on quality
Filmed in ultra-high definition with high dynamic range imaging — the standard tomorrow's audiences will expect.
Immersive audio design that puts you inside the canyons: rushing water, wind through pines, the whisper of a fly line.
The filmmaker moved to the edge of Triglav National Park to capture the full cycle of a wild place.
