We continue to stay inspired with the fifth year of the global Women’s Adventure Film Tour® (WAFT). Partnering with Puffin Drinkwear, Flikr and Cee Coach, the film tour is being shown around North America as part of International Women’s Day. It was created by Adventure Entertainment as a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure.
Every year, the selection of unique films is carefully chosen to show women achieving their adventure goals. However, being adventurous doesn’t always have to mean being the fastest, going the highest or doing the most extreme things. Adventure for most of us is just stepping outside our comfort zones and climbing our own personal Mt Everest. The films showcase real stories about women from a variety of cultures and sports around the world. Each year, we strive to showcase unique stories from around the world, with a keen eye toward expanding global awareness of the further need for diversity, equity and inclusion.
This year’s Women’s Adventure Film Tour line-up includes 7 diverse short films in a ~2 hour program, featuring women of all ages and abilities; there’s Australian Olympic champion Torah Bright, ultra trail-running champion Lucy Bartholomew and more, such as women in climbing, distance swimming and mountain biking.
