AZADI: Freedom Official Trailer by b4apres Media

b4apres Media's debut film, "AZADI: Freedom", is a cultural documentary as seen through the eyes of skiers. Set in the disputed region of Kashmir, an area deemed the "most dangerous place in the world" during the violent militant insurgency of the 1990's. What director Anthony Bonello and crew find in 2010 is an aesthetically beautiful landscape and a people eager for Kashmir to once again become "a paradise on earth." Whilst exploring the mountains surrounding the world's highest skiable gondola, the crew meet vibrant local characters, ski picturesque forests and thin alpine air. Through beautiful cinematography, interviews, animation and quiet pauses, this backcountry ski film will give you with a greater understanding of one of the most negatively publicized regions on the planet... and leave you yearning for winter.

Featuring: Forrest Coots, Colin Puskas, Chad Sayers, Peter Velisek.

Also featuring: Billa Bakshi, Yakub Dunoo, Arif Khan, Showkat Ahmmad and others.

Supported by Haglofs, Moment Skis, Icebreaker, Powderguide.com, Black Diamond, Biglines.com and Smith Optics.
