Purple Mountains: Live Free or Die
Purple Mountains – Live Free or Die, the anticipated sequel to the first film installment in 2020, follows professional big mountain snowboarder and founder of POW, Jeremy Jones, as he returns to his New England roots where he grew up and fell in love with winter.
Jeremy returns to his roots in New Hampshire, revisiting the mountains that shaped him. Motivated to protect the places he loves, Jeremy embarks on a journey to bridge the political divide over climate change. He finds common ground with outdoor enthusiasts from all walks of life, understanding their hopes and fears while tackling the issue head-on—from the Mount Washington Valley to the unfrozen waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. With stunning visuals and raw emotion, Purple Mountains Live Free Or Die offers a timely perspective going into the most critical election of our lifetimes: we may stand on different sides of the climate debate, but our shared love for the outdoors can bring us together.
The night will also include a short film about Jeremy Jone’s daughter, Mia – Twilight of Adolescence. Mia Jones, now in college, was the 2022 IFSA North American Freeride Snowboarding Champion.
Athlete Jeremy Jones and Director Josh “Bones” Murphy will be at the screenings for Q&A.
