Park City Film Presents: CHAMPIONS OF THE GOLDEN VALLEY- November 14, 2024
In the remote mountain villages of Bamyan, Afghanistan, a newfound passion for skiing attracts young athletes from rival ethnic groups who showcase their resourcefulness and skill on the slopes. With minimal gear and makeshift wooden skis, the determined ski coach Alishah Farhang organizes a thrilling ski race that fosters camaraderie, joy, and triumph. However, after the shocking collapse of their country, many of the skiers are displaced across the globe as refugees, and must call upon the lessons learned in the mountains of their homeland to find a way forward.
November 14, 7:00pm in the Park City Library Jim Santy Auditorium.
There will be a post-film discussion with director Ben Sturgulewski, and producers Katie Stjernholm & Baktash Ahadi.
Ticket proceeds will benefit the Bamyan Alpine Ski Club. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the door starting at 6pm the night of the show. Presented as part of the Raising Voices Film Series, with grant support from Park City Chamber and Park City Municipal Corp.
