Saved By Snowboarding: Victor Daviet and the Afghan Snowboard Team | Changing Tomorrow

What if your life was put in danger just because you liked to go snowboarding? In this first episode of "Changing Tomorrow", our new series showcasing the people and communities that are making a positive impact around them, we met Salomon snowboard athlete Victor Daviet who helped the Afghan Snowboard team escape from their country when the Taliban took power in their country. Discover their remarkable story, from being under threat because of their love for snowboarding and for encouraging women to participate in sports, to rebuilding themselves a new life in France.

None of the Afghan Snowboarding team would have one day imagined coming to the slopes of Avoriaz, in the French Alps, riding alongside a pro snowboarder. This is the touching story of how Mussawer, Nizaruddin, Soroush, Nasima, Kazim and Mujtaba arrived in Europe thanks to the precious help of Victor Daviet, his friends and 2 American Angels.
