Featured Films:

A Wild Within - This film explores the importance of our connection to nature and finding your true self through adventures in Churchill, Canada. Through this exploration, one can discover who you really want to be in this world. —Jake Martin, age 18

Meet a Mad Farmer: A Frame Farm - Luke and Ali Peterson are not your normal farmers. They are regenerative farmers surrounded by corn and soybeans for miles. The Petersons’ farm is a sign of diversity and healthy crops. To others they might seem crazy, but the Petersons think of regenerative farming and food as a beacon of hope for a healthier farming system, showcasing that soil health can lead to healthier foods and happier farmers. —Juno Bubolo, age 14

Truluck - Steve Truluck was trapped in a mundane life, but a job relocation to Scotland unexpectedly ignited what quickly became an obsession with marine wildlife. A surprise encounter with a humpback whale leads him to discover his purpose: helping others connect with whales and dolphins. Steve is now one of the UK’s leading whale-watching guides, known for his ability to find killer whales. We share the ups and downs of Steve’s favorite event in Scotland, Orca Watch, and discover how first encounters with these incredible animals can happen when they matter most.

Walking on Clouds - This film reveals the breathtaking and dizzying highline crossing between two hot air balloons above the city of Praia Grande, Santa Catarina, Brazil. At 1,901 meters off the ground, athlete Rafael Bridi achieved the highest highline record in the world.

The Ghost Rainforest - Told through the eyes of Indigenous activist Narubia Werreria, The Ghost Rainforest follows a group of five Indigenous leaders and activists from the Amazon rainforest making an emotionally charged journey to the last remnant of a lost ecosystem — a desperately rare temperate rainforest habitat on the west coast of Scotland.

Reclaim Your Water: Natasha Smith - Natasha didn’t grow up believing that “Black people don’t do that,” was going to be a limiting factor in her life. Not only does she ride dirt bikes, skate and surf, but she is also passionate about sharing those skills with others. Along with her friends at Ebony Beach Club, Natasha is reclaiming waves, creating an inclusive space and spreading a love of surfing through her community.

Between Earth & Sky - Nalini Nadkarni is a renowned ecologist who climbs trees in the rainforest to study “what grows back” after an ecological disturbance. After nearly dying in a fall on a research climb and making a miraculous recovery, Nalini begins to explore a new research subject: herself. Now, Nalini is doing the work of untangling the roots of her past to understand how they impacted her life’s course. In an attempt to heal, she revisits the site of her fall in Washington State, where her past, present and future converge.

A Baffin Vacation - Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry set off on a bold, multi-sport, 45-day expedition traveling through the remote landscape of Baffin Island in search of cliffs to climb and unexplored rivers to whitewater kayak.
