Arctic Lines – TWENTY Chapter 1

A documentary series about a freeride snowboarder's journey towards sustainability.

TWENTY - CHAPTER ONE

Antti Autti has been a professional snowboarder for 20 years. His whole career can be summed up in two words: letting go.

In chapter 1, Antti takes on a new challenge and heads north with a Polestar electric car. He’s searching for a line to add to his Arctic Lines list, a project that showcases the diverse freeriding opportunities above the Arctic Circle.

How will Antti, an electric vehicle novice, manage his long journey on the Northern roads? Is the charging infrastructure up to his heavy demands? After all, a successful day in the mountains requires complete trust in his vehicle as well.

Along the way, he contemplates his lifestyle and choices. He wants to be a better climate advocate but also knows that these changes bring many challenges and doubts. However, a more sustainable life is worth trying something new and different.

Twenty follows one athlete’s attempts to reconcile his conscience with the requirements of his profession. Is it possible to pursue a long career in freeriding, take on filming missions and expeditions, and do it all without getting hurt or exceeding the limits of our planet? With its inherent risks and demands, can freeriding ever be truly sustainable?
