Pachamama Film: The Beggining
The Beginning tells the story of Alenka Mali, a 24 year old snowboarder and base jumper. Born and raised between Argentina and Slovenia, Alenka prepares to face her biggest challenge of her life and attempt a snowboard base jump out of Goat Ridge mountain in Squamish, BC. If she succeeds, she would become the first woman to ever document a snowboard base. Inspired by her childhood spent in the mountains with her mom, The Beginning is a story of motherhood, resilience and the power of following your dreams.
