1) DNA
Featuring: Seb Bouin | Location: Verdon Gorge, France
French climber Seb Bouin has been quietly working his way through the elite grades, culminating in his attempt to establish a long pitch out of an overhanging cave in the Verdon Gorge of France.

2) RESISTANCE CLIMBING
Featuring: Andrew Bisharat | Location: Palestine
In the strife-torn hills of Palestine, a diverse crew of Bedouins, dirtbags and urban professionals embraces climbing as a much-needed respite from the burdens of the Israeli occupation. American writer & climber Andrew Bisharat visits the West Bank to explore his own roots and the power of climbing to transform lives.
3) BURNING THE FLAME
Featuring: Barbara Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher | Locations: Nameless Tower, Pakistan
Big wall free climbers Babsi and Jacopo seek their greatest challenge yet: a free ascent of Eternal Flame, an elusive 3,000 feet route up the legendary Nameless Tower in Pakistan’s Karakoram range. Facing extreme conditions and 5.13 trad climbing at high altitudes, a two-year quest comes down to one short weather window. Captured with drones and on-mountain cameras in one of the most stunning places on earth, Burning the Flame transports viewers to a place normally off-limits to all but the world’s best climbers.
