“What am I doing”? It had been two whole days since Jude had seen another person, and his armed guide ran off with his bike and money bag. He was deep inside Liberia’s Gola rainforest, the track in front of him was vanishing before his eyes, and he had just two days until he ran out of food. Alone Across Gola is an award-winning adventure documentary by debut filmmaker Jude Kriwald. We follow Jude’s extraordinary solo journey through Liberia’s dense Gola rainforest. The film goes beyond clichés of gnarly adventure to offer a reflection on the struggles of pursuing childhood dreams that often get sidelined by the pressures of modern life. Through moments of profound introspection, Jude’s journey asks: What happens when we step off the beaten track of our careers and everyday routines to follow the dreams we thought we’d left behind?
