Featuring Yvon Chouinard, Adventure, Inspired is a film program that goes to the heart of why we climb, ski, surf, run.

Following the presentation of the first four films, Chouinard, with participation from the audience, will talk with three of the films’ protagonists—Stacy Bare, Todd Tanner and Luke Nelson—about the ways today’s adventure athletes are protecting the places in which they love to play.
The evening will finish with a screening of Jumbo Wild.

FILM PROGRAM
Cold Waters
A Conservation Hawks film | Producer/Director: Jeremy R. Roberts | Run time: 10:39 minutes
In person: Yvon Chouinard and Todd Tanner
Five respected fly fishermen – Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies, Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, Steve Hemkens of Orvis, Tim Romano of Angling Trade and Todd Tanner of Conservation Hawks – come together to fish for wild trout and share their thoughts on angling and climate change. COLD WATERS celebrates the joy and passion of fly fishing, and highlights the need to protect cold, clean waters and healthy landscapes.
Jumbo Wild
Produced by: Patagonia and Sweetgrass Productions | Directed by: Nick Waggoner | Run time: 8 minutes
A film by Sweetgrass Productions that documents a 24-year battle of skiers, riders, alpinists, conservationists and First Nations to save the Jumbo Valley of British Columbia’s Purcell Mountains from development. Jumbo Wild is a gorgeous, gripping documentary film that captures the true story of the decades-long struggle over the future of the Jumbo Valley. Set against a backdrop of toothy spires and some of the deepest snow on earth, the film takes the audience on a journey into the raw and rugged peaks of British Columbia. Exploring an epic tug of war between a proposed large-scale ski resort on one side and community members, First Nations, and conservationists on the other, the film documents a fierce ideological battle surrounding how we value land and why we care so deeply about our wild backyards.
