The filmmakers behind this proposal, Jaha Browne and Olivia Martin McGuire, aim to show the British outdoor landscape through a different lens in an intimate, character-driven portrait of inspiring black females in the outdoors.

The Award Ceremony took place on Saturday 21st November a Kendal Mountain Festival, for which Rab was one of the main partners. The Kendal Mountain Festival has been the highlight of many mountain-goers' calendar for the last 40 years. The annual, four-day long festival is dedicated to sharing awe-inspiring, life-affirming stories from the world of outdoor adventure.

Claire Carter, Artistic Director at Kendal Mountain Festival, explains: “The Festival are thrilled to have received such a range of applications; exploring nature connection and adventure from far ranging perspectives. In awarding Radical Trails we wanted to highlight a clear and brave development of film craft and storytelling, both in authorship and vision. We are looking forward to a vibrant film, evolving from an in-depth and innovative approach.”

Jaha Browne and Olivia Martin McGuire add: "We are really excited to come together on this project to try to bridge a much deeper understanding and stimulate a wide-reaching conversation around the BIPOC experience of the British outdoors."

Rab’s The Mountain People Film Grant is worth £10K and will contribute to finalising this film project and bringing it to life, just in time for Kendal Mountain Festival 2022. Jaha and Olivia will have monthly check-in’s and support from the Rab and Kendal Mountain Festival teams and aim to complete the film by the end of September 2022.
