From the outset, the challenge was far more than they bargained for. More people have stood on the moon than have completed a continuous through hike of the Canyon. McBride and Fedarko took a sectional approach, achieving a feat that many adventurers have taken decades to complete. Others have lost their lives trying. But their quest was more than just an endurance test – it was also a way to draw attention to the unprecedented threats facing one of our most revered landscapes.

Throughout their passage, McBride and Fedarko encountered an astonishingly diverse and powerful landscape, rich in history, that is now facing perhaps the gravest crisis in the 100-year history of the Grand Canyon National Park. The threat is made stark when they encounter an organization of Navajo women fighting a billion dollar proposed tram project to be built on sacred ground.

Directed by Pete McBride and produced by the award-winning team at Insignia Films, INTO THE CANYON is a story of extreme physical hardship that stretches the bonds of friendship and a meditation on the timeless beauty of this sacred place. It is an urgent warning about the environmental dangers that are placing one of America’s greatest monuments in peril and a cautionary tale for our complex relationship with the natural world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”23614″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mkdf_section_title text_alignment=”” title_tag=”h2″ title_mark=”” title_separator=”yes” title=”Trailer”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/oZf8HU5Tk_c”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mkdf_section_title text_alignment=”” title_tag=”h2″ title_mark=”” title_separator=”yes” title=”Director”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”20719″ img_size=”600×600″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Pete McBride

Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent two decades studying the world with a camera. A self- taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker, he has traveled on assignment to over 75 countries for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Outside, Esquire, Microsoft, The Nature Conservancy and many more. After a decade documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica, Pete decided to focus his cameras closer to home on a subject closer to his heart – his backyard river, the Colorado. Four years and 1500 river miles later, McBride produced a book, three award-winning short documentaries and hosted a PBS TV program.
