Just Released: "A Day In The Life, 5 Women Who Climb." www.integrity7.com Paul Dusatko's directing efforts in "A Day In The Life" focus on uncovering parallels: the parallels between overcoming the obstacles of climbing and overcoming the obstacles of real life. "A Day In The Life" beautifully explores the subject matter by entering the lives of 5 women climbers: Beth Rodden, Tiffany Campbell, Stephanie Forte, Roxanna Brock, and Brandi Mulligan. Each woman represents a different age, personality, and lifestyle. From the 40-hour office cubicles, to the 1,000-foot walls of Red Rocks, Nevada, the intimate details of each woman's strength becomes crystal clear. This vibrant mixture of femininity and raw determination combine in harmony to create a film that delivers hope, encouragement, and inspiration Annapurna: A Woman's Place Arlene Blum Sierra Club Books; San Francisco. 1980, 1998.
