When survival in Montana shifts from seeking victory to avoiding disaster
In short: This documentary captures the brutal reality of a Montana winter, where environmental extremes turn routine activities into high-stakes battles for life. It follows three distinct journeys through the frozen landscape.
The film explores three different facets of survival in extreme cold. In Great Falls, Henry Hollenbeck competes in a rodeo tournament where one mistake could be fatal. In the backcountry, hunters Rick and Harrison face -30°C temperatures while tracking an elusive elk herd on their seventh day.
The narrative also follows Jenny Roddewig during a long-distance sled race. After five hours of navigating a brutal snowstorm with collapsing visibility, her objective shifts from winning to ensuring the safety of her dog team against deadly freezing conditions.
