In Between these Mountains
Creative documentary in which filmmaker Oliver S. Garcia confronts his father and half-brother with their family history and inner conflicts while trekking through the breathtaking mountainous landscape of California.
Filmmaker Olivier S. Garcia asks his American half-brother Erik and father Tony to join him on the John Muir trail, an adventurous trek through California that ends in Yosemite park. As they begin their journey, ominous clouds gather. The men all struggle in their own way with their family history. The rugged environment not only confronts them with the grandeur of nature, but also forces them to face their mutual tensions.
IN BETWEEN THESE MOUNTAINS combines the intimacy of a home movie with the adventurous spirit of the road movie. It shows that a journey through the wilderness can open a path to forgiveness, self-discovery and, ultimately, a renewed appreciation for the ties that bind us.
