The Search for Freedom
THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM is the story of a cultural revolution fueled by the human desire to live in the moment and do what makes you feel the most alive. We discover how an electrifying new world came about through pure energy and imagination and the infinite possibilities of self-expression available to anyone willing to drop in. This documentary, written and directed by Jon Long (IMAX® Extreme), is a visceral, visual experience told through the eyes some of the brightest pioneers, legends, visionaries and champions of surfing, snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, mountain biking and more.
Valley Uprising
Self
En los sombríos campamentos del valle de Yosemite, los alpinistas crearon un estilo de vida contracultural de beatniks vagabundos y fiestas salvajes que chocaba con los valores conservadores del Servicio de Parques Nacionales. Y en las paredes, generación tras generación han superado los límites de la escalada, compitiendo entre sí por la supremacía en los acantilados de Yosemite. "Valley Uprising" es la historia fascinante e inolvidable de esta atrevida tradición de escalada en roca en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite: medio siglo de lucha contra las leyes de la gravedad y las leyes de la tierra.
