Sliding

Twelve young athletes are here to change the world, defy the odds, and show that nothing is impossible. From city streets to the epic alpine trail race at UTMB, this documentary captures their emotive and powerful journey to inspire change. Photo credit: Jered Gruber

Streets to the Peaks

Of a Lifetime is a celebration of discovery, adventure, and the passing of the torch to the next generation against the breathtaking backdrop of Antarctica. It chronicles the renowned De Le Rue family's journey as Xavier, Victor, and 18-year-old Mila sail across the Drake Passage to ride the unimaginably steep icy lines of the white continent.

Of a Lifetime

Aiming to paddle the fabled Minus rapids at the base of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river, Ben Marr’s biggest challenge is to access them by trekking upstream. A total assault on the senses awaits as the force of the river speaks for itself. Photo credit: Caleb Roberts

The Smoke That Thunders

For decades, every third hour around the clock, every day of the year, KarinPersson and Lennart Karlsson have gone outside to observe and record the weather. At oneof the last manual weather stations on the planet, there are no days off.

The Last Observers

Renowned alpinists Josh Wharton and Vince Anderson attempt a free ascent of the Jirishanca, an epic 6000-metre peak in the Peruvian Andes. The duo will have to tackle 5.13 face climbing, horizontal ice roofs, technical mixed terrain, and treacherous snow mushrooms as they reconcile the inherent risk of climbing with their love of alpine adventure.
