Always Alive

About This Movie

Always Alive is this deeply personal documentary that dives into the psyche of Hillary Gerardi, a trail athlete who’s not just racing against others, but really against her own past. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mont Blanc, the film captures her journey through both physical and emotional highs and lows. The pacing is thoughtful, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to absorb the beautiful landscapes and the intensity of her inner struggles. There's an understated authenticity in her performance, as she grapples with the aftermath of a life-changing accident while chasing the summit. It’s not just about sport; it’s about resilience and the human spirit’s capacity to rise after a fall. It’s a raw, unvarnished look at ambition and survival.
