EXPOSURE
THE GREAT OUTDOORS | BAY AREA PREMIERE
Director HOLLY MORRIS (US 2022) 88 min
A group of women from vastly different cultures and backgrounds joins forces to journey to the North Pole. After two years of arduous training, the women begin their expedition in Svalbard, Norway, and from there set out for true north. Skiing around newly-forming ice rivers and forging through fields of broken ice chunks, the women endure frostbite, cultural differences, and physical exhaustion, but the biggest threat is the rapidly melting sea ice. This global collective of women may very well be the last people to reach the northernmost point of our planet. In this inspiring tale of womanhood, resiliency, and solidarity, we follow the women as they reach the top of the world.
