The Eighth Parallel Examines Women's Adventure Sports In Indonesia
The Eighth Parallel is a fantastic short film created by Darcy Turenne, who traveled to Bali and Java in Indonesia to interview a group of young women who are pursuing their passion for adventure sports. Amongst them are rock climbers, mountain bikers, surfers, and more, with each of them expressing what drew them to their particular sport and the obstacles they had to overcome to pursue these activities in a culture that doesn't see many women in that light.
