Here’s a quote from Shelma Jun, the protagonist “Once I was able to stop looking at other women through the lens of destructive stereotypes or as the competition, my relationships with women changed into something beautiful, supportive and strong. This video made me smile ear to ear watching it, and say ‘me too’ a hundred times. ![]() ![]() I thought this video by REI would be a great place to start this list, as it tackles the issue of sexism in climbing head on. Let me know in the comments if there are any others you would recommend! I’m always keen for new and inspiring videos :) I like curling up under a blanket and watching some of these longer films on a Sunday afternoon, or putting on a short climbing video with a fingerboard session to keep me motivated. Most of these films, you can watch online for free, but a few require buying or renting. I have attended Kendal Mountain Festival for the last 3 years and each time I leave, I am always inspired by the women I meet and watch on screen, so I thought I’d compile a list of films and short videos that you can watch during lockdown to keep your psyche high and your inspiration strong. Of course I still watch and love these films, but when I’m looking to be inspired personally, I always much prefer watching films with female protagonists they make me incredibly psyched to be the best I possibly can be, and I also find women’s adventure films more relatable in terms of how we tackle emotions in the outdoors. When you Google ‘outdoor adventure films’ or ‘climbing films’, the top results that appear have male protagonists.
