Dennis Ranalter, aka D-Ran, is a world class free-ride skier with dual Austrian and African heritage. In Descendance, he considers his mountain childhood, which was full of privilege where he was alienated from his African roots. Setting out on a journey to revisit his paternal family in Ghana, Africa, he recognizes the need to celebrate multiculturism as part of his self-identity.
