A short film about artist Natalia Pulido and how she puts together fun, movement and her creative work.

The United States has become a land of many cultures. We have become a mesh of beautiful people and yet we sometimes forget to celebrate our differences. Instead, we choose to act, dress, and sometimes even eat the same. Inside every niche, every industry, the same conversations, same clothing and same food seem to be endless. In this short film, POW Athlete Alliance member, Vanessa Chavarriaga, explores celebrating what sets you apart, finding success in small moments of joy and honoring your culture. The film showcases how she brings her culture into everything she does by telling her story of immigration, activism, science and love for outdoor sports.

Meet Rosalie Fish, a student-athlete and activist. She runs to honor thousands of indigenous women who are victims of racial and gendered violence. For Rosalie, running isn’t just a hobby – it’s a means of survival.

“Spirit of the Peaks” is a film about the struggle for balance between two worlds. For Hunkpapa Lakota skier Connor Ryan, skiing in Ute Territory has always raised questions about being in reciprocity with the land and its people. As a skier who connects with the land through sport, he empathizes with the injustices that have displaced the Utes and ongoing colonization, erasure and extraction impacting the Ute people. This story connects conflicted pasts to an awakening in cultural awareness that can create an equitable future for Indigenous people and skiers. The film was produced in partnership with REI Co-op Studios, Wondercamp and NativesOutdoors with additional support from Salomon, Peak Design and Protect Our Winters.
