DÉFI D’ELLES – LAPLAND

In Lapland, above the Arctic Circle, we filmed an adventure where sport meets commitment, resilience, and solidarity.

This project follows Défi d’Elles, a female-led and mixed-gender adventure raid, designed to raise funds and awareness for the fight against ALS (Charcot disease) and breast cancer. Set in extreme conditions, the challenge goes far beyond physical performance — it becomes a deeply human journey.

Shot in freezing temperatures and ever-changing Arctic light, the film captures raw moments of effort, doubt, connection, and strength. Through shared struggles and collective energy, the participants push forward together, driven by a cause that truly matters.

More than an adventure raid, Défi d’Elles is a powerful story of solidarity, courage, and purpose. A reminder that when commitment and teamwork come together, even the harshest environments can reveal something profoundly human.

Huge thanks to the entire Défi d’Elles team, and especially to Olivier, for the trust, the freedom, and the chance to experience and tell this adventure from the inside.
