DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT: Amie Engerbretson
Created by Professional skier and POW Athlete Alliance member Amie Engerbretson, The Hypocrite challenges the notion that athletes are hypocrites because they burn fossil fuels by driving snowmobiles, skiing via helicopters, and chasing fresh snow around the world – all while advocating for the climate. This film showcases the realization that individual actions are not the core issue and that significant systemic shifts are needed to shape a different future. By dismantling the culture of individual blame that leads to guilt, the documentary encourages unity and collaboration among individuals who share a common passion for the outdoors and for the protection of their playgrounds.
