When Hope Breaks Through When Hope Breaks Through

When Hope Breaks Through

From Award Winning director Matthew Wagner comes When Hope Breaks Through, the inspiring story of Mike Shoreman, a disabled paddleboarder who attempts to become the first person with disabilities to cross all five Great Lakes. In 2018 Mike was diagnosed with a neurological condition that left him paralyzed, with vertigo, hearing and vision loss, ultimately leading to depression and a mental health breakdown. This riveting documentary explores the current state of the mental health crisis in Canada and our relationships with our own mental health. The film immerses the audience in Mike's epic five crossings, encompassing over 300 kilometers of open water paddling with his dedicated crossings team. Together these strangers come together and form an inseparable bond as they face and conquer obstacles from boats breaking down, medical emergencies to hallucinations and everything in between.

Undersea Undersea

Undersea

For years Nanna Kreutzmann worked as a photojournalist, documenting disasters and conflict around the world. Eventually the enormity of wars, tsunamis and bloody revolutions created an inner trauma, and forced her to leave her former life behind. But when Kreutzmann discovered freediving, she found her sanctuary. In the underwater world of peace, she began documenting the community that embraced her, at the time of her distress.

UNDERSEA is an inspiring portrait of an extraordinary woman’s inner life, rich with beautiful footage from the underwater world where she has finally found a home.
