Her Story (2019)

In many countries the extreme action sports especially high altitude mountaineering and expedition climbing are under graded in valorization compared to other sports. One of the reasons for such unfair treatment is the absence of real competition while "conquering" a summit. In fact many circumstances bringing this activity on a high risk level, are not taken in consideration while valorizing the sport achievements as a national result. (Such as avalanches, storms, lack of Oxygen, extreme temperatures and distance from safety). Through simple personal stories of the athletes we will highlight the passion, dedication, sacrifice and engagements of these women in a man dominated sport, having in consideration the every day's responsibilities and expectations from their mostly underdeveloped societies. We are not focusing on a feminist point of view, but the real challenges, fears and obstacles.
