Jens Hoffmann
A 27-year-old Norwegian base jumper intends to leap from Fatima’s Hand, a myth-shrouded mountain rising abruptly from the sere desert floor in Mali, West Africa. Her project doesn’t work out as planned and turns into an even riskier adventure than she could have imagined, bringing her face-to-face with endemic poverty, fetish myths and fatal danger.
