To The Top

Ten youths from a Brussels based boxing club travel with their trainers to the mountain to climb one of the highest mountains in the Alps. After months of training and preparation the group, headed by boxing trainers Tom and Maalem, finally leaves for the Monte Rosa in Italy: a climb of 4,634 feet. The long climb to the top is not only a hard struggle against nature, but above all the youths struggle with themselves in a physical challenge that takes them out of their comfort zones. Will they make it to the top? The youngsters film their own stories, smartphone in charge - the way they are used to documenting their everyday lives. In the boxing ring, in the streets of Brussels, in their homes or on a mountain: they create images with their mobile phones and make an original portrait of themselves and their surroundings.
