Completing this film is not only about preserving his story; it\u2019s about preserving his impact.\u201d <\/p>\n The feature documentary Standing Spirit Project, from British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society (BCMOS) in Creative Partnership with 8 Fold Films, would make that dream come true. The project is currently fundraising to help bring the film to completion. <\/p>\n The film explores Jacobsen\u2019s historic journey across the West Coast Trail, including trail riding, kayaking sections of the route, navigating ladders, and adapting to seemingly impossible terrain, but also the larger conversation around accessibility, inclusion, and access to outdoor spaces. <\/p>\n READ ALSO: You can thank bats for tequila\u2019 and other juicy tidbits as B.C. bats emerge<\/a><\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/42622309_web1_260619-VNE-StandingSpiri_1.jpg\")
