Film Lens
In 'Guilt Trip', a group of skiers attempts the first ski descent of Greenland's second highest peak. The film captures their excitement but also their awareness of the significant carbon footprint associated with their expedition. To address this, they invite glaciologist Alun Hubbard, whose research could challenge current projections of global sea-level rise. This adds urgency to their adventure as they confront environmental issues.
Upon arriving in Greenland, the team faces a major obstacle: their destination is unreachable by any available aircraft. This jeopardizes their plans and emphasizes the tension between their adventurous spirit and the responsibilities they hold towards the environment. The documentary presents a complex interplay between thrill-seeking and ecological awareness.
