  • Against the Current

    How far do you have to travel to find yourself? And how much are you willing to sacrifice to get there? Veiga Grétarsdóttir is the first person in the world to try to row all the way around Iceland in a kayak - over 2,000 kilometers, counterclockwise and "against the current". This achievement is said to be comparable to climbing K2.

    Veiga's personal journey is no less remarkable. The inner struggle for Veigar to become Veiga was an equally difficult journey - if not more - than the kayak expedition she embarks on alone.

  • Swissway to Heaven

    Switzerland is a true paradise for multi-pitch climbing. And then there is the country where the climber Cédric Lachat was born and raised. In “Swissway to Heaven” we experience the beauty and awe of five iconic peaks and mountain ranges - Eiger, Gastlosen, Wendenstöcke, Lauterbrunnen and Rätikon - told through Cédric Lachat's unique sense of humor and unbridled enthusiasm for climbing.

  • Between Giants

    Two months and 5,600 km by bike through some of the world's highest and most magnificent mountains in the Indian part of the Himalayas. This is the plan for adventurers Maxwell Frost and David Deaton. With good advice from Danish Tore Grønne, they spend two months cycling in the Himalayas, on mountain roads starting at 213 m, to sky-high mountain passes of no less than 5,300 m.

    Along the way, they live in a number of Buddhist monasteries before the trip takes them over Taglang La, a 5,328 m high mountain pass. When the road ends, they unpack their bikes on horses and visit the Dalai Lama's hometown in hopes of saying hello. For the two adventurers, it is not the stunning landscapes, huge mountain passes and wild bike rides that make the ride particularly memorable. It is first and foremost the people they meet along the way who provide the healing they have both been looking for.

    Join an epic adventure that shows the unique, hidden corners of the Himalayas, and which pushes the boundaries of what is humanly possible.

  • Wandering in Lebanon

    In the spring of 2019, the adventurers Bjørn Harvig, Tore Grønne and Rasmus Falck jump on the bike and set off through Lebanon in the hope of meeting the good man. The film follows Bjørn, who has previously cycled from Denmark to Iran, and Tore, who has cycled from China to Denmark. And behind the camera is Rasmus, who is going on his first ever long bike ride. They cycle through Lebanon on rental bikes from Beirut with soft grandfather saddles and a loose rear wheel.

    They want to show that if you jump on the bike in countries - which here in safe Denmark have a reputation for being 'bandit countries' - then you get close to people and cultures and find out that the world is often better than its reputation. Therefore, they let themselves get lost in Lebanon, meet people at eye level and try to understand their reality. They do not believe that people are either evil, bad or want to do them harm just because they live in countries with a messy history. The documentary was filmed, edited and produced by Rasmus Falck.

  • A Winter Adventure - Against All Odds

    Join Maria Winther and Lars Bukkehave on a series of winter skiing adventures.

    Maria has dreamed of the freedom of going out skiing in the untouched snowy landscape. However, she must first learn to ski! Is that even a realistic plan? With no skiing experience, she now wants to go on expeditions where most people have to give up and call for help.

    Lars was quickly drawn to the adventures Maria presented. He was able to offer his 15 years of teaching experience in alpine skiing and in the mountains. But will the many days in a tent with girlfriend Maria become too intense? This will be the ultimate test.

  • A Journey and The Doors

    Will Europeans react with trust and humanity, when a stranger knocks on the door?

    A mosaic story of trust and humanity comprised of encounters with strangers as a filmmaker bikes through Europe, knocking on random doors in search of food, shelter, and water. When asked to help an uninvited stranger, how will everyday Europeans react? “A Journey and the Doors” is an experimental voyage over the threshold of countryside farms, suburban houses, big city apartment complexes, and refugee camps. From doorstep to doorstep, we slowly enter the homes and lives of the people standing behind the closed doors of Europe.

  • Mission Mount Everest

    A Dane has never succeeded in reaching the top of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, without the use of artificial oxygen. But now two Danish mountaineers will make the attempt, even at the same time, but on their own side of the mountain.

    41-year-old Jakob Urth will try to climb the 8,848 meters from the southern side, while 29-year-old Rasmus Kragh will try from the northern side.

    It is a dangerous journey that the two mountaineers embark on. More people have died trying to summit Mount Everest than there are people who have summited the mountain without the use of artificial oxygen. But the two Danes have set their sights on becoming the first at the top - and now they are fighting from opposite sides.

    TV presenter and mountain enthusiast Morten Spiegelhauer follows the extreme efforts at close range in the thin air of the Himalayas. The mission becomes fierce for everyone and the drama develops as the mountaineers approach the death zone and the summit of the most legendary mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
