Truly an inpiration for anyone who thinks that one person can't have a huge impact!

Thank you for continually promoting these important stories!

Change CAN and WILL happen!! Mother earth will thank us all for our efforts big or small.

Those opening low light shots are simply amazing. I can't believe we have digital sensors that can shoot that clean at night.

My ten year old, then five year old, suffered badly through the winter in Utah. After moving to an area that doesn’t trap air like in the SLC valley, he’s improved drastically.

we moved to SLC 3 years ago and it was SHOCKING how bad the air was. WE ended up leaving after 2 years and moving back to WI. The long term affects on us is just too important.

This video says that every little bit helps! Doing a run and advocating for better air is a step to change.

I was in Salt Lake City in 2022 during a severe period of inversion and I felt so powerless and hopeless. Great to see that this push for change is happening

great documentary! Patagonia makes some great ones but this is one of the best

Ditto! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I switched to nasal breathing rather than through the mouth. Its quite a difference. NO flu for 3 years now. As a 59 yo dude. Ya'll should get into ebikes on a big scale in the cities. I rode 29 miles today on my ebike to get groceries. No driving!

Nice work Jared. Great production Forest.

Well done!

Da gum, 5.2 million vertical feet… that’s nearly 5.3 million vertical feet!

I love this. As a life long resident of Salt Lake and having raise a son here in THIS AIR it definitely strikes deep. I spent a lot of time in our mountains and deserts hiking, BC skiing, biking and climbing and enjoy the occasional suffer fest. But have to say, as person not at all inclined to run anywhere (unless chased by something fearsome) I have only watched the RUFAs from a distance and worry much of our population is in the same boat (or fog). I wonder if there is a way to engage and inspire a broader swath of people to get involved? Maybe we need many "(blanking) up for air" events (biking, golfing, boating, walking, climbing, skiing, pickle-balling, etc). Your point of a "hard thing" that gleans buy-in an drives home the idea that a first step leads to success is awesome. Maybe it could work for us non-rapidly-moving-folks as well 😁? Anyway, inspiring work you have done. Gives me hope. Thanks

I like your thinking and agree more outdoor activities can be added to raise the awareness. I'm a RD at RUFA Tiger Mountain and know they once had Climbing Up For Air. Not sure why that didn't happen this year. I'll bring it up at our next meeting. I lived in the Wasatch for over 40 years and watched as that inversion grew into a monster it is today. Stay healthy!!!

Such a great idea!!

Great idea. Great cinematography.

We are living it here in Delhi, India! After running on the roads of Delhi, I have been diagnosed with Asthma and am now on inhalers 😩

Thank you, all. Keep turning negatives into positives. Too many vulnerable people suffer badly due to the damn inversion.

Great film! Sadly the link mentioned at the end is broken!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! After doing some investigating, it turns out the URL is case-sensitive. You can learn more by either going to www.patagonia.com/RUFA or by using this link: pat.ag/YT/RUFA_Film. Thanks again!

Scientists have been stating the facts and warnings about pollution and air quality, but because everything gets politicized, half the population thought it was a “hoax.” That is, until it comes into YOUR neck of the woods.

Did this film even mention the number one polluter in Salt Lake City? Same old, letting industry pay for the museums while destroying the air and blaming individuals.

No where in this film did they "blame" individuals, they just suggested that anyone can make a difference with their actions. And did you not see them at a local civic meeting engaging with the city officials (or in your terms "industry")?

I agree they could have mentioned more about the bills in the current legislative session, but I think the point was for YOU to investigate what you can do in YOUR community. think globally - act locally

And Chem trails??
