Hypebeast x The North Face Team Up to Present ‘Descendance’ Documentary

Hypebeast has teamed up with The North Face to host an exclusive screening of the ‘Descendance’ documentary in London next month as well as a panel talk hosted by Swim Dem Crew’s Peigh Asante and featuring Dennis Ranalter, Phil Young as well as Zaineb Abelque and Evie Muir from outdoor collectives Athene Club and Peaks of Colour.

This documentary explores Ranaltar’s journey of self-discovery and how he has managed to navigate the identity struggles of his childhood to become the illustrious freeride skier that he is today. As well as showcasing first-hand accounts from the people closest to him, it follows his emotional trip to Ghana — his father’s home — for the first time, shining a light on the power of family and how visiting your ancestral roots can have a life-changing impact on your perspective.
