Trevor Kennison's life changed in an instant when he broke his back snowboarding in the Colorado backcountry. The film follows Trevor on his journey as he adapts to his new reality. Despite setbacks from secondary injuries, an unsupportive family, and the tiresome reality of living with Spinal Cord Injury, a career as a professional skier blossomed and Trevor finds himself redefining disability on a global scale.

EXPOSURE

Against all odds and polar advice, a Muslim chaplain, a French biologist, a Qatari princess and eight other women from the Arab World and the West attempt to ski across the melting Arctic sea ice to climate change ground zero – the North Pole. In EXPOSURE, director Holly Morris and her crew capture this story as the team navigates everything from frostbite and polar bear threat, to sexism and self-doubt in an intimate story of resilience, survival and global citizenry. The expedition featured in the film remains the last-ever to reach the North Pole.
