The power of dreams

A movie of FRANÇOIS-XAVIER DE RUYDTS

​

Synopsis 

​

Arthur, 21, is a paraplegic. An accident at the scouts deprived him of the use of his legs. Despite this, he is about to carry out an unthinkable project: to cross the Brooks Range in Alaska, an isolated and winding area where nature has remained untamed. A trek which includes 200km of rafting and 100km of walking through the mountains and which is renowned for its difficulty; a difficulty that is all the greater in that Arthur wants to face it independently. With an iron will, draconian training and an extraordinary team, the dream becomes reality.
