Farming Turns

Farming Turns

Farming Turns follows Canadian freeride skier Chris Rubens as he confronts the environmental impact of his globetrotting life in search of epic snow. After an expedition to Greenland brings the realities of climate change into sharp focus, Chris makes a radical decision: rather than simply making films about the issue, he chooses to change his lifestyle. Leaving behind the carbon‑intensive itinerary of a professional athlete, he reduces his flights, adapts his diet, and ultimately becomes an organic farmer in Revelstoke, British Columbia — all while strengthening his connection to his local community, the land, and the mountains he loves. With a new focus on sustainability and purpose, Farming Turns is an honest, uncompromising portrait of one man’s profound transformation and his effort to build a better world for his family and his son.
