With minimal gear and makeshift wooden skis, the determined ski coach Alishah Farhang organizes a ski race like no other. After the shocking collapse of their country, many of the skiers are displaced across the globe as refugees and must call upon the lessons learned in the mountains of their homeland to find a way forward.
Champions of the Golden Valley
