FITNESS AND THE FATHER
This captivating reconstruction tells the story of Father Jean-Marie Mouchet, a Catholic Priest and French Resistance fighter, who diverted youths in Canada's Northern communities from devastating lethargy and addiction that had come with the decline of hunting and gathering societies. Father Mouchet inspired them to reconnect with the latent power of their own bodies, and reawaken the "physiology" that linked them to the land. Instead of preaching, he taught them to ski. The rigors of his cross-country skiing program produced Olympic champion skiers from the Vuntut Gwitchin people in Old Crow and he proved that intense physical exertion is a direct route to wholeness and confidence.|
