Crux

The physical and emotional benefits of rock climbing are explored on the amazing granite surfaces of British Columbia. Harvey is a 32-year-old barber, DJ and band member, who opens up about his struggles with depression and addiction, while welcoming us on his climbing adventures. Harvey’s pre-film life is illustrated with a mix of personal photos and an animated dramatization, which are replaced by up-close and wide-angle videography of his life’s ups and downs on and off the climbing rope. His private challenges, both anguished and joyful, provide an intimate look at the human condition.
