Unfiltered – An Elisabeth Gerritzen Portrait

Unfiltered presents Eli at a turning point in her career as she battles with the contradiction of being a professional sportsperson – struggling with the censorship that comes hand-in-hand with having a platform. Eli has frequently been suppressed by the rhetoric that sportspeople should stay in their lane to try to keep sport apolitical – something Eli strongly disagrees with. She believes the platform she has should be used to make the world a better place, through activism and representation.

The film covers her relationship with fear, her incredible time on the FWT and her self-doubt surrounding carving out a career beyond the competition circuit, all while showing us Eli what she does best – charging lines. There is no doubt that she is one of the most graceful skiers of her generation and is clearly a deep thinker – hopefully she can combine these two skills going into the future.
