OUTLIER: COMMON follows three Latina snow athletes as they navigate life in remote mountains alongside the forces of mother nature.
Together, we summit. When women’s voices rise together, the fate of our communities changes.
In this story, we follow athlete-scientist Nina Aragon, athlete-community builder Vanessa Chavarriaga Posada, and athlete-filmmaker Dani Reyes-Acosta as they embark on a three-part snow adventure.
Episode to episode, we’ll see the cast’s relationships with the mountains, each other, and themselves evolve and grow. We’ll get an inside look at the women’s personal lives including the balance of family life, motherhood and mental health, and the pressures of life and sport as a professional in the white, male-dominated snow industry. We’ll witness the personal sacrifices they have to make to reach new heights.
Yet their sisterhood grounds them through it all. Their love of snow, cultural connection, and community-oriented values create the camaraderie that guides their exploration of self and th world. These women are the boundary breakers on the horizon.
