For Lor Sabourin, climbing is more than a sport; it's a way of exploring identity and building resilience in the face of adversity. They/Them follows Lor, a trans climber, into the sandstone canyons of northern Arizona on a journey to piece together one of the hardest and most inspiring routes of their life. By embracing the strength in vulnerability, Lor has found the space to thrive and build a climbing community that others like themself can call home.

That's a great film! And I hate the amount of hate Lor (and other lhbti people) have to endure in this world.
Sick line btw.
Agreed. A film that manages to be about being trans and climbing, and do both well!
chapeau to Lor and the production team!
That was very informative, sensitive and well put together. Makes me realise just how much climbing is almost a panacea for whatever issues we are facing in our lives (in my case old age!). Also some great bits of rock on show and some serious perseverance. Excellent Friday night video.
