Visions from the Borderlands

"The audience wants to see me fight. Let's give them what they want."

Set against the backdrop of the world's longest ongoing internal war, the story centers on an unnamed protagonist who is a humanitarian known as "Dreamer." He suffers from PTSD and is plagued by repressed memories and visions of a terrifying figure: a shadowy visage with a skull-like face known as "The Ghost". Driven by these unexplained visions and a desperate need for answers, Dreamer impulsively decides to revisit "the borderlands," a place he last saw thirteen years prior as a humanitarian. This decision arises during a casual conversation with his son. The film chronicles Dreamer's arduous journey to the borderlands, where he encounters both new and familiar allies and enemies. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, the plot explores how Dreamer evades security forces and crime syndicates, forged alliances, and undertakes perilous quests. The film contains combat scenes, acts of violence and interviews which include a prisoner of war and a resistance commander.

When filmmaker Peter Mortimer begins his film, he places his camera at the base of a British Columbia cliff and waits patiently for the star climber to come down to answer his questions. Marc André, a little uncomfortable, prefers to return to the depths of the forest where he lives in a tent with his girlfriend Brette Harrington. In the heart of winter, Peter films vertiginous solos on fragile ice. He tries to make appointments with the climber who is never there and does not seem really concerned by this camera pointed at him "For me, it would not be a solo if there was someone else" . Marc-André is thus, the "pure light" of the mountaineers of his time, which marvel Barry Blanchard, Alex Honnold or Reinhold Messner, interviewed in the film. An event film for an extraordinary character.
