Professional snowboarder, founder of Protect Our Winter (POW), and environmental activist Jeremy Jones just released the new trailer for his upcoming film, âPurple Mountains.â The one-hour documentaryâdirected by Josh âBonesâ Murphy and produced by Liars & Thieves and Teton Gravity Researchâtells the story of Jonesâ search to mobilize outdoor enthusiasts of all walks of life. The purpose: to move forward on a common path toward climate policy that will benefit the health and well-being of our planetâŠand spreading that message, one voter at a time.
Purple Mountains follows Jones as he navigates our countryâs divide through a new lensâcelebrating outdoor recreationâs ability to unify opposite sides of the political spectrum. âThe film captures Jeremyâs evolution as an athlete, activist, business owner and father, and follows him as he forges toward a common future where clean air, clean water and a healthy environment are the priority,â Murphy said in a press release. Donât think itâs all advocacy and no on-mountain action, though. The film also captures some incredible low-carbon-output backcountry riding and skiing adventures close to home in some purple battleground states in the western U.S.

âIâve always wondered if weâre really as divided as they say we are. Weâre still all Americans at the core,â said Jones. âSo I decided thereâs only one way to find out; to meet my neighbors and other people who love the outdoors as much as I do and head outside to find where we agree and how we can move forwardâŠWhat Iâm searching to learn in this film is âWhy is that ask so polarizing?ââ
The full feature film will premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. (EST)/5 p.m. (PST) followed by a live Q&A with Jones and Murphy. You can RSVP on the âPurple Mountainsâ website. Beginning on Sept. 17, the full film will be available to stream for free here.
