The Rise of the Hamminator: Lindsey Hamm’s journey from concrete to peaks
Mammut athlete Lindsey Hamm, a professional climber and mountain guide, brings a breath of fresh air to the world of mountaineering. Originally from Texas, she has begun making a name for herself in recent years. This short film offers a glimpse into her life, a recent expedition to Pakistan’s wild Charakusa Valley. Beyond the mountains, Lindsey is a people person, driven by a passion for inclusivity in climbing, and giving opportunities to other women, who want to get into the sport. She collaborates with women’s organizations in Pakistan, helping to dismantle barriers and create opportunities for education and growth.

New Zealand 9
In a race against time, three adventurers will set a new speed record by completing New Zealand’s nine Great Walks faster than they’ve ever been done before, using human power alone. It’s the ultimate adventure race. They’ll kayak 145 km, ride 80 km and run over 300 km in just nine days.

The High
THE HIGH is a feature length documentary film about the making of the longest high altitude foot race in the world. The film follows the path of a group of extreme runners who individually decide to take part of a dangerous running experiment gone wrong. Indian race director Rajat Chauhan works against the advice of the military, his family and friends to create a race over the two highest passes in the world (above 17 500ft). Directed by Barry Walton.

Dakota Jones – Trying to leave footprints everywhere, but only footprints.
Dakota has been running trails ever since he found that trail running wasn’t nearly as competitive as road running, and that it might give him a shot at being famous. He still isn’t famous, but it turns out he really likes exploring wild places on foot. Indeed, this unexpected appreciation of nature has resulted in him doing all kinds of complicated things in order to try to save the environment, like taking a cargo ship across the ocean and being a pain in the ass at potlucks by not eating meat. Dakota puts his emotion into action working along side partners such as Protect Our Winters (POW), utilising his ability to run fast on trails to promote sustainability and respect.
