Aikyam: a short film about the search for a freeskier

Faction presents “Aikyam,” an uplifting tale and engaging short film that follows the story of Vasu Sojitra, a professional freeskier and Faction athlete. Vasu is one of the world’s leading adaptive freeskiers and ventures to India to ski in his homeland, exploring the local community of skiers who derive comfort and purpose in skiing. “Aikyam,” meaning “Unity” in Sanskrit, describes Vasu’s ambition to understand himself and his family heritage as he explores the mountains of the Western Himalayas. Gulmarg, in northern Kashmir, is its destination, India’s only ski resort, where skiers from all over the world gather for the heavy snowfall. The full interview with Vasu Sojitra and the short film are available at factionskis.com.
