Gutsy Girls Adventure Film Tour 2025

The 8 breath-taking films in the 2025 line up will take to you to the depths of the Antarctic ocean, mountain biking in NZ, scaling the French Alps, making fresh tracks in the South Island of NZ and padding the full length of the Murray River. Films include: Roots Run Deep: Robin Gomes 16 mins : USA Robin Goomes made history in 2024 as the first woman to win the legendary Red Bull Rampage downhill mountain bike race. After five years in the New Zealand Army at a pivotal crossroads, she faced a tough choice: continue her stable career as a heavy machinery operator or risk it all to chase the uncertain dream of becoming a professional mountain biker.

Dear Superhero 10 mins : NZ For nearly two years, professional skier Janina Kuzma struggled to get pregnant—a journey that tested her relationship with control, her body, and her mind. Then, in early 2024, the moment arrived: a positive pregnancy test, but with it came a new question: how would pregnancy change her life in the mountains?

**Mother River ** 6 mins: Australia What begins as a bold solo adventure down Australia’s mighty Murray River becomes something far deeper for Laura—a journey through grief, healing, and transformation. This short documentary follows one woman’s quest to paddle the entire length of the river, driven first by wanderlust, then by the quiet ache of loss.

Diving into the Darkness (tour edit) 30 mins : Australia A breathtaking odyssey with legendary cave diver Jill Heinerth, as she ventures into the planet’s most uncharted depths—and the farthest reaches of her own resilience and courage.

META 20 mins : Germany One of the earliest women to pursue alpinism seriously, Meta Brevoort spent much of her life in Europe, climbing extensively throughout the Alps alongside her nephew and her loyal dog, Tschingel.

Then Comes The Body 15 mins: Africa In the rough outskirts of Lagos, where ballet is almost unheard of, a group of young girls dares to dance. At Leap of Dance Academy, they train barefoot on cracked concrete, guided by a self-taught teacher and fueled by sheer willpower.
