Join us for a special screening of ADAPTED, followed by a conversation with athlete Josh Hancock and director Paul Bikis. Light refreshments will be served.
ADAPTED is a powerful documentary about resilience, adventure, and redefining what’s possible after life-altering injury.
Driven by unbreakable willpower, three adaptive athletes — Josh Hancock, Anna Soens, and Danielle Doelling — embark on a daring and personal adventure with the hope of finding new ways to access places that make them feel most alive. Anna aims to become the first paraplegic athlete to summit Washington’s 10,781-foot Mt. Baker. Josh leads a custom adaptive raft expedition down Idaho’s wild Salmon River. Danielle takes on the ultimate endurance challenge, hand-cycling 87 miles across the White Rim Trail in Utah’s Canyonlands National Park.
Josh Hancock is an adaptive athlete, writer, executive producer, and environmental engineer with a T12 complete spinal-cord injury. Hancock has been producing ADAPTED for the last 7 years and is one of the founding members of Livin’ Wheel Life (LWL) Productions. As an adaptive athlete and wheelchair user he brings an intimate perspective to creating films that feature people in wheelchairs and works to challenge perspectives about the disability community.Â
Paul Bikis is a documentary filmmaker driven by stories that create impact. Over the past seven years, he has led ADAPTED from idea to screen—directing, producing, and learning every part of the process along the way. His work is rooted in a personal connection to the adaptive sports community, shaped by his mother, and a belief in the power of the outdoors to shape how we heal and grow.
