Wissenswertes

White Mile is a 1994 American made-for-television thriller-drama film directed by Robert Butler and starring Alan Alda, Peter Gallagher and Robert Loggia. It originally premiered on HBO on May 21, 1994.

Background

The film is loosely based on a rafting accident, on August 1, 1987, on the White Mile rapids in the Bidwell Canyon section of the Chilko River, in the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada. Current and retired executives of Chicago agency DDB Needham (DDB), along with clients from Kraft, Clorox, Procter & Gamble (P&G), Drug Free America Foundation (DFAF) and other major companies, were involved in the incident.

Besides drawing heavily on the Wolfe and Fasules' real personalities, the film's other characters are largely composites of the real men. The other lead character, Jack Robbins, portrayed by Peter Gallagher, is completely fictitious, according to Stonehenge Productions' Executive Producer, Dick Berg. Screenwriter Michael Butler said Al Wolfe didn't cooperate with the screenwriting process.
