Walking the Good Path

 

"Walking the Good Path" deals with the power of passion that drives people towards balance and fulfillment. Three characters take center stage: Roman Rohrmoser, ski freeride pro, Gerald Rosenkranz, mountain bike and unicycle expert, and Jay Bearhead. The Canadian aboriginal was forcibly separated from his family in his childhood and robbed of his cultural identity during his time in residential care. His passion for mountain biking always provided him with an outlet to deal with his traumatic experiences.

Jay's problems resurfaced, however, when he turned to drugs in his teens. He crashed and ended up as a heroin addict on the streets of Kamloops. On his way back, it was once again his passion that gave him the decisive impetus to change and get clean. The other natives and his originally exorcized culture gave him support. They helped him to overcome his addiction and get back on the right track.

Since then, Jay has lived strictly according to the rituals of the Cree First Nation. Roman and Gerald were invited by Jay to a Sweat Lodge ceremony to gain an insight into the culture. It is about purification, overcoming and suffering. The message of "Walking The Good Path" is clear: a true passion rides to a more fulfilling life. Doing what you love can help you overcome obstacles and find meaning in your journey. The first step on your own good path the Good Path - who knows where it will ride you?

The film "Walking the Good Path" was awarded Breakout Film of the Year at the iF3 Mountainbike Awards 2023 Canada.
