Director Trixie Pacis and writer\/historian Meghan J. Ward lead an all-female creative team on an extraordinary journey, retracing Schäffer Warren's famous 1908 expedition to Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Mary Schäffer Warren was 43 and recently widowed when she defied Victorian-era conventions to reinvent herself as an adventurer and photographer. Combining archival research with modern backcountry adventures by horse, hike, and canoe, the film investigates Mary’s complex story and explores timely themes of healing in nature, land stewardship, and reconciliation. By comparing the past to the present, the team uncovers visual evidence of climate change and the forced removal of Indigenous Peoples, ultimately demonstrating that sometimes we must look back to blaze a better trail forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDirector: Trixie Pacis\u003cbr\u003eProducers: Trixie Pacis \u0026amp; Meghan J.

Sasha performs gravity-defying routines, merging techniques from mountaineering and acrobatics. Her performances, often done without being ‘tied in’, require immense physicality, sound risk assessment, and unwavering confidence. Living in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Sasha uses her unique artistry to draw attention to beautiful and often vulnerable natural environments. The film explores her unique perspective on risk management and creative expression as she pushes her limits. Notably, Sasha’s vulnerability while performing untethered in the air mirrors the vulnerability of icescapes on a warming planet. The documentary is dedicated to all those affected by the Jasper wildfire of 2024, which burned through the canyon featured in Sasha’s landmark performance.
