Stand (special edit) is a hauntingly beautiful examination of the people and culture of the Great Bear Rainforest– and the lives of those committed to defending its fragile ecosystems and fjords, one paddle stroke at a time.

In Not Bad (special edit) seven brave riders set out from the four corners of the globe for thirty days of outrageous fun and bicycle tomfoolery in New Zealand. Cam McCaul, a native of Aptos, is featured in the film Not Bad.

Ready to Fly follows Lindsey Van and her colleagues on their arduous 15-year fight to achieve equality in the Olympic Winter Games.
