The 45th Parallel Traverse - An Adventure Empowerment Film

An exciting first attempt to traverse the South Island from coast to coast, following the circle of latitude that is 45° south of the Earth's equator. From the rugged, untouched west...to the penguin colonies of the east...and everything in between.

Tanya will hike, paddle, run and cycle, this human-powered epic journey of over 500km - all the while being filmed for an adventure empowerment film aimed at inspiring women around the world to dream big.

This extraordinary adventure will see Tanya take the road less travelled and blaze a trail of her own making - with a map, compass, and a dream.

Tanya's first film 'Peak of Possibility' has inspired and changed lives around the world, and this second film aims to build on that.

Feedback on Peak of Possibility:

"Your words, 'You can do anything' came to mind...Those words kept me strong...So thank you, your film and films like yours can make a difference in someone's life"

This traverse is Tanya's biggest challenge yet, and the film will showcase the grit, determination, fun and growth that comes from taking the road less travelled.
