A short documentary film exploring the early inception of outdoor group The Wanderlust Women.

The Wanderlust Women is a short film exploring the connections about outdoor leader, Amira Patel, has with nature and outdoors, and documents the start of her journey founding a Muslim hiking group for women, and the impact her mother, Aysha, had on her journey.

I have worked alongside Amira on several projects through the years, and this short film truly feels like the beginning of the huge legacy and impact she is creating with her work. The Wanderlust Women is a supportive community for Muslim women in the outdoors, and is now thousands strong, with collaborations with global brands and retreats around the world.
