HIGHER CALLING

CARRYING A BROKEN HEART TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD

WATCH TRAILER

Anyone Can Ride In The Sun

After losing his brother, a young man sets off on a motorcycle through the Himalayas, seeking a cure for his broken heart but finding something far more unexpected.

A group of five men gathered around a motorcycle on a street, looking at a map. The men are wearing casual clothing, with some in jackets and glasses, and one wearing a cap. In the background, there are a few pedestrians, a parked car, and buildings along the street.

3 Friends, 3 Motorcycles, and the Himalayas

Higher Calling is a journey through grief, over mountains, and into the soul. This is a story of brotherhood that reveals how traveling on no road can sometimes be the best way to find the road forward.

About the Film
 

The Roof of the World

Filmed in the Himalayas at altitudes up to 18,000 feet, the mountains provide a visual experience that is equally breathtaking and humbling.

Towering peaks, switchback roads, and remote villages set the stage for this story. Every turn, a mediation and every challenge, a chance to heal.
