New Documentary Features Stand Up for Great Lakes

The non-profit charity Stand Up for Great Lakes — whose members have crossed all five Great Lakes on stand-up paddleboards to raise funds and awareness about the lakes — has released a free documentary called “Crossing Ontario.”

The documentary follows paddlers Kwin Morris, Jeff Guy and Joe Lorenz as they battle the smallest of the five Great Lakes, Lake Ontario. It offers an up-close look at the trials the lake presented, along with the personal struggles the paddlers faced during the crossing.

Kwin Morris shares: “Finishing all the crossings was bittersweet but incredibly rewarding. We’ve raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars and spread awareness about protecting these waters. These lakes give so much to us, and we’re proud to give back.”

Filmmaker Corey Adkins adds: “We thought Lake Ontario would be simple, but it showed its might and nearly took them out. Never underestimate the Great Lakes!”
