alongside archaeologist, Alexei Vranich teamed
up to produce their own informative, humorous
and “real life” archeological adventure on film,
“Reed Boats - The Vanishing Art". The characters
and personalities are real, the story
unscripted, and you will feel the adventure as
you follow their story. Follow the progress of
the film at
