STRAIT UP – THE LOST ART OF THE APPROACH follows an unlikely team of two Americans and two Australians who, in early 2018, became the first to combine sea kayaking and rock climbing in a crossing of the Bass Strait and the Kent Group of islands between mainland Australia and Tasmania. Why This Film Matters: The best expeditions invent their own rules, and this one stitches two sports together to reach climbs no one had approached this way. It is a celebration of self-powered travel and the creativity of going where the map runs out.
