After experiencing loss, a new mother races through grief at the edge of the world. From adventure race filmmaker and Oakmont native Scott Almendinger McGrath. Adventure racing is the world’s toughest sport. Teams of four race across 100s of miles of wilderness by foot, bike and boat. Experienced endurance athlete Chelsey Magness, after losing one twin during birth and beginning to raise the other, decides to return to Patagonia where it all began. Alongside her adventure racing team, she enters the Patagonian Expedition Race, touted as the world’s ‘last wild race’, one of the most rugged and grueling expedition races on the planet.
