THE FACTION COLLECTIVE'S ROOTS

The Faction Collective is proud to present its third award-winning feature film in conjunction with Red Bull Media House, Roots.

Through eight inspiring chapters—from the caves of the Italian Dolomites to the nightscapes of Ruka, Finland to the mythical peaks surrounding Verbier, Switzerland and beyond—Roots highlights the foundational elements that attract us to the sport of freeskiing, in all its forms. Each chapter has a distinct colour, destination, crew of riders, and style. Twenty-six of our generation’s top freeskiers reveal the underlying reasons that inspire them to click into their skis, no matter how many falls it takes to unlock the perfect line or trick.

In Association with 1% for the Planet and Climate Partners, Roots is a climate neutral film.
