ABOUT THE FILM

Preface

This is a story about the resiliency of the human spirit. Through this film, we will delve into the life of Alexandra Côté-Durrer. She has faced an unfathomable amount of hardship throughout her life, and yet never fails to keep moving forward. She is a passionate, inspirational and incredibly strong human being. Through this story, we hope to empower our communities with the knowledge to better understand and identify with those who are struggling with their mental heath. We will learn the power of listening, reaching out, passion, connection, and love; for these are important, now more than ever before.

Synopsis

There is a saying that says “The strongest people are those who win battles we know nothing about”. There is nobility and deep truth in that statement, but it doesn’t mean you should fight alone. Alexandra’s mental health journey is one that most people would deem impossible. The mere fact that someone could go though a similar path and be here, alive, is astonishing. Not only is she still here today to share her story with the world, but she uses what some would consider weaknesses as strengths to lift people’s spirit and be a beacon of hope for those who struggle with their mental health. Through running with her canon companion Alo, she found solace and some kind of peace that she hasn’t been able to find anywhere else. The healing power of nature is something that goes back to our very roots as human beings. This is the story of her life and how she managed to not only survive but thrive. This is the story of Alexandra Côté-Durrer.
