Every year top athletes from around the world converge in Chilean Patagonia to test their physical and mental strength in an adventure race that stretches the limits of human endurance. The Last Wild Race documents the 2013 Patagonian Expedition Race as a worldwide cast of teams navigate 700+ kilometers of narrow fjords, imposing glaciers and unexplored forests on foot, bike and kayak. During ten days of non-stop racing the stories of survival, endeavor, drama and success are awe-inspiring.
Every competitor is literally putting their lives on the line; exposed to the elements, swimming across freezing rivers, crossing immense ice fields. Finishing this race is really winning in an event that sees less than half the teams make the full journey.

'Vishneva, Belarus Soviet Union Poland' is grounded in the oral history testimony of a Holocaust survivor and has been deconstructed by the interviewee's son. Unlike most oral histories that focus on the words of the interviewee, 'Vishneva' uses silent images from the interview superimposed with typed memories that describe the unspoken pain borne by father and son through more than half a century.
