Coutesy of 'This Mountain Life'
This Mountain Life: A Mother/Daughter 2,300 Kilometer Trek
Grant Baldwin’s This Mountain Life is about people and mountains—specifically those of British Columbia, a province that consists of 75% mountainous lands. Very few people take advantage of the beauty and majesty available to them in their own province. The film follows a few of the few.
This Mountain Life features Martina Halik and her 60 year old mother, Tania, on a 2,300 kilometer ski trek from Canada to Alaska. That treacherous trek had only been completed once before, and never by a female duo. Baldwin intersperses this harrowing journey with profiles of others who also have strong emotional relationships with the mountains.
This Mountain Life is gorgeous, jaw dropping, exquisitely shot. I would happily watch another 76 minutes beyond the film’s first 76.
