ALLTA
A short documentary following Sarah Fletcher as she journeys into the Scottish Highlands with a group of friends to establish new climbing routes, while exploring what it means to find belonging in the sport she loves as a trans woman.
Currently in post-production. Follow the journey.
“Bouldering is one of the fastest-growing forms of climbing worldwide, yet outdoor participation can still feel intimidating or inaccessible to many newcomers, particularly women who don’t see themselves as welcome in spaces traditionally shaped by performance-focused sporting culture.” - Tesla Ascender, director.
This film has been brought to life through the incredible support of our crowdfunding campaign. Thank you so much to everyone who helped us reach our target - we couldn’t have done it without you!
If you’d like to support Allta further, any additional donations would be hugely appreciated and will help us take the film through post-production and on to festivals.
