MVFF at Home: High Country

This beautifully shot documentary is a love letter to Crested Butte, Colorado. It tells a timeless American story: how a group of conscientious and forward-thinking young people, disguised as ski bums and hippies, happened upon a ramshackle mining town on the fringe of society and worked to conserve and protect it for years to come. Exploring how one small mountain community has attempted to walk the line between development and conservation, growth and sustainability, this rowdy, fun-loving film portrays a struggle that is relevant to our home island and other small towns across North America.
