Through candid interviews, archival footage, and breathtaking cinematography, "ADAPTED" captures the emotional depth and physical demands of each individual's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. As Anna conquers new heights in her pursuit of mountain peaks, Josh navigates the rugged wilderness in search of empowerment, and Danielle breaks barriers in her pursuit of athletic excellence.

Ultimately, "ADAPTED" is a testament to the indomitable human will and the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to embrace the transformative power of nature. Through the lens of these extraordinary individuals, viewers are inspired to believe in the capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity, find purpose, and forge new horizons, unbroken and unyielding.
“I was in awe of these athletes who were climbing,
skiing, and mountain biking in a style I’d never
seen before; they were getting after it and I was
pumped. For the first time after my fall, I found
hope for my future.”
