There you go now.

Bring her along, boys.

Bring her along now.

Steady, steady.

Annie Taylor risked her life

for fame and fortune

but like so many others

that challenged Niagara

she died in oblivious poverty.

That she lived at all

was more than a miracle.

Time is a circle.

The past is not past

but eternally present.

The time of sacred things

is a circle returning

to itself again.

It is summer, 1961.

The day

on the upper Niagara River

has begun like any other.

Dad, what's wrong?

It's okay.

It's all right

I'll get it going.

Can't you get it going?

Get back, get back!

Hey, look over there!

What is that?

What is it?

It's over there!

There's a boat

in the water!

Swim! Swim for shore!

Come on!

Try to swim in!

Come on, kick! Kick!

Help!

Help me!

Hang on, hang on, hang on!

Got her?

Where's Ben? He's gone!

He's gone!

Oh, he's gone!

Look! Over there!

Captain, Captain!

There's a kid

in there!

A kid in the

water, a boy!

He's in the water.

He's in the water over there!

There he is.

Hay! Over here!

Come get me!

Over here! Hey!

Help me!

Stand back.

Let him breathe.

Come on, give him air.

How is he?

He's all right

He's all right?

Time has created the myths.

Man has created the magic

but the miracles

remain a mystery.

Some say it was luck,

some thank God

and both are probably right,

but for those who feel

the rhythms

of their own heartbeat.

In the thundering water

of the great Niagara

and see the rainbow appear

in the mist

it is a mystery no longer.
