An anthemic celebration of the women you won't see on TV: the women who won’t go on to the Olympics or break any world records, but who enjoy being physically active in their own individual way. Because girls who are physically active are more likely to succeed. And people are more likely to follow in the footsteps of people who look like them. Featuring a range of ages, bodies and backgrounds, this film embodies a wide spectrum that is often unseen in sport.

When I Look Back follows four women mountain bikers ripping around Moab, Utah. But this is not your typical adrenaline-fueled adventure film. Both lighthearted and contemplative, it’s a glimpse into a tight-knit group of friends doing what they love and picking each other up when they fall down. Looking back on their lives, this is what they will remember.

Mountain landscapes have changed drastically in the last two decades–not only dynamically, but in the representation of women climbing to the peaks of mountains, the depths of wilderness, and the reaches of their personal limits. When Kitty Calhoun started ice climbing, she climbed primarily with men and made a name for herself as one of the first women in the sport. We've come a long way since then, and are proud to be using our achievements in climbing and skiing as a platform from which to speak about greater environmental and social issues. 20/20 follows eight adventure athletes as they look back on their careers and their collective successes of many firsts–like the first female summit of Makalu, first female ski descent of Lhotse, and the first woman to ski all 90 lines of the Chuting Gallery - and look forward to sharing their insights on the challenges ahead of us.
