Filmmaker Giles Walker takes an informal look at how our best skiers work and live. Filmed in 1976, this short movie follows the Canadian ski team on a tight schedule in Chile and Argentina. With 2 ½ tons of equipment, speeds of up to 140 km/h, gruelling workouts and a dramatic theft, it's safe to say that downhill racing is not for the faint of heart.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Giles Walker's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. No Way They Want to Slow Down is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
