NEVER GIVE UP LAURA ROGORA
di Pietro Bagnara (Italia, 2021, 36’)
Official Selection – Trento Film Festival
Laura Rogora is the first Italian woman to qualify in the climbing discipline for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She is the first Italian woman to climb a grade 9b route (and the second worldwide) and is also the first Italian woman to have won a stage in the Lead Climbing World Cup. However, there is much more to Laura than these achievements and her life story is defined by her fierce determination and her ability to dream.
Pietro Bagnara began climbing in the 1990s and this activity led him to tra- vel the world in search of new routes. In 2000 he moved to Milan, where he graduated from the Italian Institute of Photography.At the close of 2012 he became the founder of OpenCircle, a company dedicated to producing videos on the mountain environment and extreme outdoor activities.
