ROOTS TO THE PEAK

A Story of Two Women From the Mountain We Call Home

Every trail has a story, and every runner carries one home. Roots to the Peak follows Angelie Cabalo and Joy Beltran — two women whose strength was shaped by the mountains they grew up beside — as they take on the ridgelines and remote landscapes that made them who they are.

This is the first film from Mountain We Call Home, a storytelling platform built around the voices of people whose lives are woven into mountain life: trail runners, communities, and individuals whose breakthroughs happen one climb at a time.
