SOAR - a girls' paragliding roadtrip
TRAILER
Paragliding in the UK has long been a predominantly male sport. So what happens when you invite Kinga Masztalerz – adventurer, Red Bull athlete, and one of the world's leading women pilots – to chase the flying weather through England and Wales on a girls' hike & fly roadtrip?
The film is the conclusion of the Glide Gals project, started by Rhian Ebrey, which strove to improve diversity in the UK paragliding community. Production was supported by several UK clubs including Cumbria, SE Wales, Dales and Thames Valley.
