Life Uphill - Tenzin Dolma Story

Banff Centre Mountain Book and Film Festival 2025 Best Short Film winner! Throughout their respective histories, both horse and Indigenous people have been corralled.

Borrowed from the Earth

In the dead of winter, photographer Tom Murphy treks deep into Yellowstone National Park to capture the lives and struggles of those who survive there. As the only person known to have traversed the length of Yellowstone solo in winter, Murphy is driven by curiosity and a yearning to experience nature in its raw form.
