"Chasing the Current' is a film about Canadian champion cyclist Emily Rodger and how her ascent to the podium was twice derailed by near-fatal collisions. Her journey to overcome injury and PTSD leads her back to flyfishing, the pastime of her childhood and she discovers not only her own peace when reconnecting with nature, but also a path for others facing a personal crisis and unexpected life change. She learns how to let go of the dark clouds and become her true self.
