In three short documentary films commissioned by MEC, three Canadian adventurers share their own lived experiences with wild spaces and how outdoor activity has shaped their lives. Created by three leading filmmakers, these raw, genuine portraits explore how the outdoors inspires and challenges us. In commissioning such films, our hope is to amplify conversations about the lack of representation of people of colour in the outdoor industry.
This film is currently being screened at various film festivals around the world throughout 2018/2019.
