The Man Who Wouldn’t Leave the Headless Valley

At seventy-five, Albert Faille was still loading his canoe and preparing to return to the Nahanni. For decades, the former soldier and prospector searched the remote South Nahanni country for traces of lost gold. He did not create the legend of the Headless Valley—but by refusing to leave, he became part of it. This film follows the life of a man whose final years were shaped by one river, one unfinished search, and a wilderness that never released its hold on him.
