Face the Elements
FACE THE ELEMENTS was a one-hour documentary shot in Whistler BC. FACE THE ELEMENTS focused on the Outdoor Training Camp in Whistler, BC.
For three days non-stop, outdoor adventure newbies were put through their paces as they mountain biked, trekked, canoed, rappelled, zip lined and navigated their way through the mountains in and around Whistler. Our cameras were with them around the clock.
The audience was taken on a journey as they witnessed first-hand ordinary people attempting to confront their inner most fears and learn more about themselves. It was about the impossible being possible and pushing themselves to the limit.
