'Nyad' (2023): Just Keep Swimming
This inspiring true story falls nothing short of filling the audience with a passion to strive for their wildest dreams.
The Leopard in the Land (2015)
In the remote and unforgiving wilderness of the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia, artist Joe Rohde sets out on a month-long horseback expedition in search of meaning, inspiration and a deeper connection to the natural world. His goal is simple: to create large-scale paintings that will help protect one of the planet's most elusive and endangered animals: the snow leopard. Battling blizzards, rugged terrain and the challenges of travel across vast open landscapes, the journey becomes more than an artistic mission. It transforms into a personal and philosophical exploration of why we venture into the wild-and what those journeys reveal about our relationship with the world around us. As the Mongolian winter closes in, The Leopard in the Land unfolds as a stunning and deeply reflective story of endurance, creativity and purpose. Through sweeping landscapes and moments of introspection, the film captures the fragile beauty of a disappearing world-and the urgent need to protect it.
