Emily Ford sets out with Diggins, a borrowed Alaskan sled dog, to become the first woman and person of color to thru-hike the 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail in winter. Emily and Diggins develop an unbreakable bond as they test their endurance and together experience the unexpected kindness of strangers. What begins as an extraordinary physical and mental challenge also becomes a spiritual journey. <a href="https://www.ptfilmfest.com/About-Us/Board.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sponsored by Kris Becker</a><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/8c9780685222a50bdcada698762a1c93.png">

Breaking Trail

The film follows Chloe Maxmin and her campaign manager, Canyon Woodward, as they throw away the traditional Democratic playbook (which lost roughly 90% of the vote to Trump in rural counties in the 2020 election) to unseat Republicans in a district that has never elected a Democrat. Chloe and Canyon rehumanize their deeply divided neighbors, and make new and unexpected connections. If you could use a bit of good political news right about now, this is it. <a href="https://www.ptfilmfest.com/About-Us/Board.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sponsored by Kris Becker</a><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/2d69c3b5a17e1aeae0df2190a336386a.png">

Rural Runners

Let no obstacle impede progress! When COVID-19 forces his school to close and remote learning proves impossible, a teacher in Guatemala builds a classroom on wheels to bring education directly to his students. <a href="https://www.ptfilmfest.com/About-Us/Board.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sponsored by Kris Becker</a><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/a6ab3b980314cb26dfa2046bf1966239.png">

Lalito 10

True story: Tony, 11, and Jeff, 9, are desperate to visit the 1967 World’s Fair in Montreal. But their parents can’t take them. Mom comes up with the “perfect” solution: hitch their Shetland pony, King, to a cart and drive there – 311 miles – on their own. As you can imagine, not everyone thinks this is a good idea. For Tony and Jeff, it becomes the adventure of a lifetime. <a href="https://www.ptfilmfest.com/About-Us/Board.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sponsored by Kris Becker</a><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/f0513d51b9e5dff91599f0143cc3cd61.png">
