Expedition Alaska

Twenty teams brave the Alaskan wilderness for the competition of a lifetime. Racers will traverse over 350 miles in a non-stop seven-day race, carrying everything they will need to survive a course that pits themselves against Mother Nature and each other. Racers will mountain bike through the sharp peaks of the Kenai Peninsula, traverse mountain ranges, crevasse filled glaciers, mudflats filled with quicksand and paddle countless life-threatening rivers and rapids.

The crushing tundra, freezing water and constant sunlight of the Alaskan summer will force racers to confront their physical and mental limits.

In the battle for glory, Expedition Alaska will test the boundaries of teamwork and human determination.

This film is the product of the Production Master Class at the University of Cincinnati. Students from across the campus travelled to Alaska to work alongside teachers and professionals while filming. Once the race was over a team of over 30 students worked to create the documentary, serving as editors, producers, music supervisors, audio mixers and graphic designers. This is the fourth feature documentary production from the Production Master Class.
