description

The story of Liam Gill, an Indigenous Olympic snowboarder from Calgary, as he carves a new path—this time as a mentor. Returning to the mountains that shaped him, Liam launches a youth empowerment program called Liam & Friends that lifts up an underserved community in the NWT. Set against the backdrop of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and powered by a local hip-hop soundtrack, the film celebrates resilience, leadership, and the power of showing up for others both on and off the snow.
