All Rock Bridge, Hickman or Douglass High School Students will be able to see Crash Reel for free this Friday, March 1st at The Missouri Theater!

In 2009, Kevin Pearce was arguably the best snowboarder in the world, winning competition after competition, making lots of money and, with a core group of fellow riders (dubbed the FRENDS crew), preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Park City, Utah. Then he crashed. Director Lucy Walker brings a story that transitions smoothly from breathless aerials to emotion-fueled familial conflict, telling the story of Kevin and his family with grace and compassion. What starts as a high-adrenaline sports story grows increasingly deeper and more resonant, an inspiring tale of friendship, recovery and brotherly love.

If you want to attend, here’s the info:
