Oh, yes.
22:30
And I've always filmed the trips, and I managed to raise the funds to get a woman to come and film with me.
22:35
Um, but actually putting together a documentary and having, you know, the editor and the sound and all that, you know, it's, it's very expensive.
22:43
So I just managed, I put a pitch doc together and I thought, "You know, I've been doing this for a while now, and this trip is so epic, and the story's so inspiring," and so many people were saying, "I really would like to watch this." And I also think there's something in, in a documentary that now I've got it, you know, I can take it to schools, I can show it to people, and I wanna just get it in front of as many people as possible.
23:05
So that's why I wanted to have a film or something that I could, I could show.
23:10
So I just put everything into trying to get this funding, and it nearly killed me, but I managed to get it, and we managed to make it.
23:16
And I also, one thing that I really wanted to do was keep the entire production team, um, female identifying because, uh, again, in the world of adventure, um, there's this big adventure festival that I go to every year, and, you know, so few of those films are directed and made by women.

Um, what do you think the benefits are of that for you? Because I think you clearly enjoy it.
14:49
Can you walk us through your actual expedition itself?
14:52
Yes, so we went for the first time in 2024.
14:55
And I'd raised another thing about these trips.
14:57
I have to raise all the money and it becomes this really quite big, stressful thing.
15:01
So there's a lot riding on it.
15:03
And it was a little bit later in the season.
15:05
So I basically wanted to try and summit the same day that she did.
