I Am Because You Are

Overview

“I Am Because You Are”” follows the journey of six women of colour as they embark on their first mountaineering trip in the beautiful and rugged Bugaboos. The plan was for a summer trip with the opportunity to learn foundational mountain skills from their guides, but up until the last minute the trip was almost cancelled due to historic levels of spring snow. Despite the group having mixed levels of experience with backpacking or camping in snow, the crew decides to come together, pack their bags and take on the adventure with trust in their guides.
