"Borne of Water" illustrates the journey of water, from mountain snow to flowing rivers. Inspired by a historical #Hopi event and seen through young Tiyo’s journey, the film shows how climate change is impacting all who live along the river. We find deeper meaning in how water connects us to the past, present, and future

Into the Ice” is a journey into Cordillera Darwin – a remote, wild and mostly unexplored mountain range at the tip of South America. In spring of 2022, seven friends sailed, climbed and explored this pristine place to better understand how its mountain glaciers are responding to climate change. Along the way, they attempt the first ascent of Roncagli and Cerro Sara

Directed by @justinclifton produced by @rides_and_rivers @americanrivers & featuring @fred_phillips_consulting

In far Northern Arizona on the Navajo Nation lies an archaeologically rich canyon, called Tsegi. Steeped in a rich cultural history tucked into the alcoves of these steep sandstone walls, this beautiful and remote canyon is home to a number of Navajo ranching families who have, for generations run cattle, sheep and horses on the lush fertile grasses of the canyon floor. Slowly at first, these families began to see the land literally wash away before their eyes.
***
Armed with new knowledge and the desire to heal the land, these families recognized that the warning signs are too important to ignore. In the fall of 2018, the families launched a pilot project to see what could be done. Starting with 1,000 acres, then growing to many more, the livestock was temporarily removed and native plants planted in strategic locations to bring the watershed back to ecological health. The willows, cottonwoods, and wetland grasses have returned, and with them the sounds and signs of migrating birds, frogs, and native wildlife that symbolize a healthy ecosystem.
***
The families throughout Tsegi were so taken by how quickly the land has begun to heal, they decided to continue the project on an additional 5,000 acres.
***
Their story is about choosing to make a sacrifice for something larger than their ranching income. They have chosen to bring the medicine back to the land and heal.

Our oceans are in trouble. Plastic pollution is greater than ever and Earthlings are slow to change their ways. An alien arrives. He takes us on a journey through time; from the past, to the present and to a possible 2050 to illustrate what the world's oceans might look like if behavior remains unchanged. For this alien, this is “The Last Straw.” Will he succeed in encouraging Earthlings to change their ways?

We are bringing back a classic throwback "The Frenchy" @michellescreative
**
Jacques “The Frenchy” Houot (pronounced “oo-oh”) is a Colorado icon. He is an 82-year-old athlete who gets after it non-stop on skis, mountain bike, and the cyclocross race circuit. Jacques is a badass athlete, but the real story is how he inspires us with his contagious love of life, epic tales of survival, ability to counter aging through laughter, and his impact on the community over decades

Effective communication is a challenge every climber faces. It's a sport that requires intense focus, dedication, and overcoming fear. For @deafclimber Sonya Wilson, communication and community is of vital importance.
