FITNESS AND THE FATHER
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.
