A Journey of Justice, Legacy, and the “FREEDOM TO ROAM“

In the vast, untamed wilderness of Oregon, a bold movement is rising. “Freedom to Roam” is more than an expedition—it is a reclamation, a declaration, and a fight for the FREEDOM TO ROAM.

Six U.S. veterans will embark on a 200-mile bikepacking journey across the historic Fremont section of the Oregon Trail. But this is not just about adventure—it’s a mission to expose the deep inequalities in outdoor spaces and challenge the racism, hate, and ignorance that make many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color feel unwelcome in the very landscapes that belong to all.

Inspired by the Triple Nickles, the first Black military smokejumpers who trained in Pendleton, Oregon, these veterans carry forward a powerful legacy. Just as the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion braved the flames in the Pacific Northwest during WWII, these warriors ride today—not to fight fires, but to ignite change. Their stories will become the foundation of the Freedom to Roam campaign, reminding the world that access to nature is a fundamental human right, not a privilege.

Through fly fishing, hiking, survival training, and camping, these veterans won’t just travel through the wilderness mt biking an 200 mile expedition—they will reclaim it, redefine it, and demand safe passage for all who seek solace and adventure in the outdoors.

This documentary will bring their journey to life, weaving together history, struggle, and triumph into a cinematic experience that will inspire action and awaken understanding.
