Crux
Arc’teryx | Short Feature Documentary
Crux follows Harvey, a recovering addict who uses rock climbing to work through his ongoing struggle with mental health.
Life can be beautiful. Life can be messy. Add in the struggles of addiction and life can often become overwhelming.
As trauma, depression, heartbreak and declining mental health were woven into Harvey Wright’s internal fabric, so was rock climbing. Climbing gave him purpose and helped him to connect with nature, with others and with himself. Passion and healing followed but his mental health was to be massively tested by the global pandemic, with self-isolation forcing Harvey away from the climbing lifestyle.
Crux tells the story of Harvey’s recovery as he learns to love himself amidst the mountains of his life.
