Sleigh Ride

Sleigh Ride documents two Dominican friars' harrowing mission to celebrate Christmas Mass for three small villages in remote Alaska that have no assigned priest. With only 5 hours of sunlight, during the coldest time of the year, the friars will drive over 28 hours and 548 miles through high winds and snow packed roads bringing Christmas to the ends of the earth.
