Special Jury Mention for ASCENDING AFGHANISTAN at BANFF

We’re honored and thrilled that ASCENDING AFGHANISTAN has received special jury mention at the BANFF Mountain Film Festival.

“A film that reminds us how trivial our aspirations and achievements are. A film that humbles us. The jury unanimously agreed that this powerful film could not go unrecognized… it is a reminder of how far we still have to go in the journey to make this a just and equal planet for all, and it casts a new light on the unexpected role mountain sports can play in those efforts.”

— Bruce Kirkby, jury member.
