At Crested Butte Film Festival we believe that film can change lives. Every year we strive to create opportunities for participants to learn and have the opportunity to act during the festival. To accompany our panel “An Unusual Route: Dialogues Around Systemic Representations” and the films exploring race in America, we’ve developed a list of resources to support your journey toward anti-racism. This is not comprehensive by any means, but we hope this helps.
Simply the most moving and inspiring film of the year. Oh, and it’s led by eighteen year-olds.
After the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School claims 17 lives (and from Parkland, Florida to inner city Chicago, Milwaukee and beyond) Emma Gonzalez and fellow high schoolers catalyze an unprecedented youth movement to end the gun violence epidemic in America. With the critical 2020 election looming, US KIDS chronicles an epic 18-month coming-of-age story for a traumatized generation that’s determined to honor the fallen and take back democracy.
Directed by CBFF alumna Kim A. Snyder (NEWTOWN, 2016).
This film has been generously sponsored by Ursla and Matthew Null; and by an Anonymous Donor "In honor of all high school shooting victims across the US.”
