AI Summary

Robb Moss recalls filming a 1978 river trip in Arizona, where he and his friends were all naked and carefree. The footage, shot in grainy black‑and‑white, captures the group in a Woodstock‑era mood, with no sign of self‑consciousness. Moss, now in his mid‑seventies, describes the scene as a snapshot of youthful innocence before adulthood. The film shows the companions, then in their twenties, enjoying the sun and each other’s company without realizing they were naked. The footage later inspired a hit documentary series about the trip.
