The choice of the festival

Beth Rodden, one of the United States top rock climbers and for several years, half of rock climbing’s golden couple, bares all in this poignant account of her struggles with success, expectation and body image. Confronting the realities of being a high level athlete, becoming a mother and the physical changes of ageing, she finds her own way and comes out well and truly on top. An honest, poignant and inspiring film with a hugely positive message.
