You have just found "Across The Way" - the River Phoenix discussion group. Since 1996, this group has been the focal point for a community of friends who respect and miss the late River Phoenix. River was a remarkably talented and successful young actor who, unusual for the industry in which he worked, radiated a particularly strong sense of compassion not only for all his fellow human-beings, but also the environment in which we live and the animals we share it with. In addition to his work in the film industry, River was also an accomplished musician who wrote several songs including "Across The Way" after which this group is named.
