The Community Foundation serving SW Colorado is proud to present:
Paradise Paradox featuring Bode Miller on October 18 & 19
as part of our Making a Difference Speaker Series.
Bode Miller, Olympic ski racing legend, and Brett Rapkin, Emmy Award-winning impact sports filmmaker, produced the film Paradise Paradox. This film explores the shocking mental health crisis that is impacting Rocky Mountain ski towns and the innovative solutions happening in response. Colorado and neighboring ski states consistently rank in the top states for the highest suicide rates, giving the Rocky Mountain region the eerie descriptor “The Suicide Belt”, according to National Geographic.
