About the film

Set against the awe-inspiring landscapes of British Columbia, Clay, his triplet brother Tanner, and a vibrant cast of renowned adaptive athletes set out to defy expectations and redefine what inclusion in the outdoors truly means.

Forward celebrates the power of adaptive adventure through the inspiring journey of Clay March — a young man with cerebral palsy whose passion for skiing, surfing, and exploring the outdoors knows no bounds.
