The Sacred Grounds: Part One - Formation: Pursuing their dreams and putting professional skills and teamwork to the test, Kye Petersen, Callum Pettit and Matty Richard seek to turn time back and pioneer unexplored corners of the deep wilderness on skis in search.The Sacred Grounds short film series takes the cast from their backyard of the southern Coast Range of BC, to the far reaches of the Northern BC/Alaska border, to the Japanese Alps, to the Columbia ranges of interior BC, to reaches of the Southern Chilcotins and beyond. We are excited to share these adventures into undiscovered zones and ‘Sacred Grounds’ that hold the best possible terrain environment for displaying these riders passion for skiing. The mountains provide us with so many blessings but can also take it all away in an instant - for this respect is due, a life of dedication is needed, and a whole lot of effort is required, all of which is rewarded with the times of their lives when it all comes together. Part 1 of the series takes us on a journey to a remote water locked cabin in an unexplored region of the South Coast of BC as well as through the backcountry skiing mecca known as the Sea To Sky Corridor [Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton], rediscovering the terrain that shaped these riders from youth. We hope you enjoy the ride along on the journey into our Sacred Grounds. Directed by: Mike Henitiuk, Kye Petersen, and Riley Leboe.
Eric Hjorleifson Winter 2021: Winter 2021 was certainly a unique one.

Editor: Peter Wojnar.
Solace - A Running Documentary: Karel Sabbe spent his childhood summers hiking in the wilderness. An avid explorer of natural environments, he set his mind to setting the fastest known times on the world's most brutal and beautiful trails. From the Pacific Crest to the Appalachian Trail, he's done that. In the summer of 2021, Karel Sabbe ran the Via Alpina in just 30 days, the actual Fastest Known Time. Averaging two marathons on a daily basis, he navigated the route 14 days faster than anybody else. As well as the Alps, Karel overcame sleep deprivation, illness, and extreme weather. And he did it all with a camera crew in tow, documenting every step. In this new documentary, Solace, we joined him on what might be his most beautifully brutal adventure yet. Get an unprecedented look at what it takes to achieve a Fastest Known Time. This is the story of Karel's Via Alpina FKT.
How To Run A Famous Bodega: Meet Rahim Mohamed. He manages a bodega in Red Hook, Brooklyn, where he stocks shelves, cleans up spills and serves sandwiches from the griddle. But he’s also a big deal on TikTok, where more than two million followers watch him come up with wild sandwich combinations for his never-ending stream of customers. Bodegas are the lifeblood of New York City, but what does it take to run one — especially when it’s famous on TikTok? Our new series, “On the Job With Priya Krishna,” is about labor and the people who shape what we eat and how we eat, whose jobs often go unseen. Tune in.
Honouring The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: Dr. King has been a huge figure in many of our lives, and growing up he was the only person in my household that wasn’t related to me whose picture was hanging in my family’s living room. I was always interested in who he was, and I soon learned why his picture frame was bigger. When I asked my grandmother aka “Mama Dot,” she responded with, “He’s the man who cared enough about us to fight for our freedom by putting his life on the line for equality.” And the rest was history.
