PC Film will show the documentary “Black Ice” for one night only Sept. 19. It’s about Dutch-Ghanian Olympian Akwasi Frimpong, the first black athlete to compete in skeleton at the Winter Games.
“We'll show at the beginning of the night a short film about his incredible journey, which is filled, of course, with setbacks and resilience,” PC Film Executive Director Katy Wang said. “And then we'll have a panel discussion afterwards with Akwasi and then Emily Fisher, who's the executive director of the Youth Sports Alliance, along with some YSA athletes who are breaking barriers in our own community.”
Ticket sales benefit Frimpong’s foundation Hope of a Billion.

“High Country” portrays Crested Butte’s transition from mining to ski town. A post-film panel discussion will feature outgoing Park City Leadership Director Myles Rademan.
“Myles is featured prominently in the film, if anyone's seen it, because, of course, he was instrumental in the development of Crested Butte before he came over here to Park City,” Wang said. “So it's a nice way to kind of bookend his career.”
