About the film
Let Me Chase This Dream
This inspiring documentary from Pachamama Film Production tells Bryanna’s story as she chases her dream and thru-hikes the Continental Divide Trail after recovering from a traumatic brain injury that paused her career as a professional surf photographer. The journey took over 170 days from the US-Mexico border to Canada, and is a reminder to chase that big dream that makes your heart beat a little faster.
A Pachamama Film Production directed by Cristóbal Ruiz. (film length: 40min)
Supported by Sea-Doo.
