Magnetic Mountains is an independent documentary that follows the story of an everyman who, after falling from an Alpine north face, is struggling to find a balance. Featuring some of the biggest names in mountain sports, it will explore the psychology of risk taking in the mountains, asking – is it&nbsp;really worth it?&nbsp;&nbsp;In October 2014, Steve Wakeford, a sports broadcast editor (part of EMMY and BAFTA award winning teams), fell 70 metres whilst climbing a mountain known as Les Petites&nbsp;Jorasses&nbsp;in the French Alps. It was a fall that required him to be airlifted out of the mountains suffering from&nbsp;a number of&nbsp;serious injuries and resulted in him being temporarily left in a wheelchair - he is lucky to be alive.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the start of a long journey of rehabilitation, he began to ask himself some serious questions - "Regardless of injury or trauma, why are we drawn to the mountains in the first place? Is risk an essential part of what we do? Perhaps most importantly, why is it that I am planning to climb the same route from which I fell?"&nbsp;Having lost his sense of direction and identity, he decided to pick up a camera and document his journey. And so, Magnetic Mountains was born.&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to start finding answers, Steve decided to meet with some of the leading figures in alpine sports - Sir Chris Bonington, Tommy Caldwell, Steve House, Andy Parkin, Nick Bullock, Ellen Brennan, Liv&nbsp;Sansoz, Marja Persson, Tom Ballard, Paul Pritchard and more – as well as speaking with university professors, psychologists and the heroic professionals of PGHM Mountain Rescue.&nbsp;&nbsp;But if anything, the process led to him needing to ask further, more challenging questions - both of himself and the community in which he is a part of. Is playing in the mountains selfish? What impact does it have on our relationships? What influence does social media have? Can the risks ever be justified?&nbsp;When he picked up his camera during his long and dark days of rehab, even Steve couldn't have predicted quite how much the next 3 years would have in store for him. As he prepares to re-climb the route from which he fell, he discovers that perhaps the bigger mountains to climb are, in fact, closer to home...&nbsp; Live Q&amp;A Session&nbsp;&nbsp; After watching the film there will be a live chat with Menna Pritchard and Steve Wakeford chaired by Carys Ifan, Director of Canolfan S4C Yr Egin. If you wish to ask either Menna or Steve a question then you can&nbsp;send them in advance to&nbsp;helo@yregin.cymru,&nbsp;@yr_egin on Twitter or Insta or ask them live on the night. ______ Mae&nbsp;Magnetic Mountains&nbsp;yn rhaglen ddogfen annibynnol sy'n dilyn stori dyn cyffredin sy'n&nbsp;ei chael yn anodd dod o hyd i gydbwysedd ar ôl cwympo o wyneb gogleddol un o fynyddoedd yr Alpau. Mae'n cynnwys rhai o'r enwau mwyaf ym myd chwaraeon mynydd, a bydd yn archwilio seicoleg cymryd risgiau yn y mynyddoedd, gan ofyn&nbsp;–&nbsp;a yw'n werth chweil?&nbsp;&nbsp;Ym&nbsp;mis Hydref 2014, cwympodd Steve Wakeford, sy'n olygydd darlledu chwaraeon (rhan o dimau sydd wedi ennill gwobrau EMMY a BAFTA) 70 metr wrth ddringo mynydd o'r enw Les Petites Jorasses yn Alpau Ffrainc. Roedd yn gwymp a olygai bod yn rhaid iddo gael ei gludo gan hofrennydd o'r mynyddoedd yn dioddef o nifer o anafiadau difrifol, ac a arweiniodd ato'n defnyddio cadair olwyn dros dro&nbsp;–&nbsp;mae'n lwcus ei fod yn fyw.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ar ddechrau taith adsefydlu hir, dechreuodd ofyn cwestiynau dwys i'w hun&nbsp;–&nbsp;"Ni waeth beth fo'r anafiadau neu'r trawma, pam yr ydym yn cael ein denu i'r mynyddoedd yn y lle cyntaf? A yw risg yn rhan hanfodol o'r hyn a wnawn? Yn bwysicaf oll efallai, pam yr wyf yn bwriadu dringo'r un llwybr y cwympais oddi arno?"&nbsp;Ac ynta wedi colli ei ymdeimlad o gyfeiriad a hunaniaeth, penderfynodd godi camera a gwneud cofnod o'i daith. Ac felly, ganwyd&nbsp;Magnetic Mountains.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Er mwyn dechrau dod o hyd i atebion, penderfynodd Steve gwrdd â rhai o’r ffigurau blaenllaw ym maes chwaraeon alpaidd – Syr Chris Bonington, Tommy Caldwell, Steve House, Andy Parkin, Nick Bullock, Ellen Brennan, Liv Sansoz, Marja Persson, Tom Ballard, Paul Pritchard a mwy – yn ogystal â siarad ag athrawon prifysgol, seicolegwyr a gweithwyr proffesiynol arwrol Achub Mynydd PGHM.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ond os rhywbeth, arweiniodd y broses ato'n gorfod gofyn cwestiynau pellach, mwy heriol – ohono'i hun a'r gymuned y mae'n rhan ohoni. Ydy chwarae yn y mynyddoedd yn hunanol? Pa effaith y mae'n ei chael ar ein perthnasoedd? Pa ddylanwad y mae'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn ei gael? A ellir cyfiawnhau'r risgiau fyth?&nbsp;Pan gododd ei gamera yn ystod ei ddyddiau hir a thywyll o adsefydlu, ni allai Steve hyd yn oed fod wedi rhag-weld beth fyddai gan y tair blynedd nesaf i'w gynnig iddo. Wrth iddo baratoi i ail-ddringo'r llwybr y cwympodd oddi arno, mae'n darganfod efallai bod y mynyddoedd mwyaf i'w dringo, mewn gwirionedd, yn agosach at adref ...&nbsp; Sesiwn Cwestiwn ac Ateb Yn dilyn y sgwrs mi fydd sgwrs byw gyda Menna Pritchard a Steve Wakeford gyda Carys Ifan, Cyfarwyddwr Yr Egin yn cadeirio.
