High Country, directed by Conor Hagen and produced by Ali Batwin, tells a timeless American tale of how a community of conscientious and forward-thinking young people, disguised as ski bums and hippies, happened upon Crested Butte, Colorado, a town once on the fringe of society, and worked to conserve and protect it for years to come. The story of its heritage and evolution, from Red Lady Films, reveals a place that has always been defined by its people. Watch the full film here.
