A friendship united by two things: volcanoes and giant tortoises, and a legacy written by science. Journey Back to Alcedo tells a story of unconditional love between two intrepid 70-year-old best friends, on their last climb together to the place where it all began, and the legacy they leave to new generations of female scientists. Today, only 13% of the 33,000 inhabitants of the world's most famous natural laboratory are women working in science. In the face of climate change and its profound impacts on women, this documentary highlights the urgent need for more women in conservation and science, especially in fragile and unique environments such as the Galapagos Islands.

The Dawn Wall

The definitive film on the climb that captured headlines and ignited imaginations worldwide. Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson ascend the hardest big wall of all time: a 19 day ascent of The Dawn Wall, on the 3,000 foot vertical face of El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. The film travels deeper than the climb, digging into the history of the climbers and painting an intimate portrait of Caldwell's harrowing life experiences that culminated in a single-minded drive to complete this impossible climb. The Dawn Wall is a heart-warming and inspiring movie that celebrates perseverance, camaraderie, and the universal spirit of dreaming big, and never giving up.
