THE FILM

Join us for the Roaring Fork Valley premiere of Feel It All, a Colorado-based documentary film and a conversation on mental health in the mountains with professional skier, director, and Colorado local Drew Petersen.

Feel It All chronicles professional skier Drew Petersen’s journey from the depths of suicidal depression to finding purpose, strength, and resilience by setting a goal to run the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon. Through blending the experience of skiing the highest 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado that surround the Leadville 100 course with the emotional, immersive story arc of running one of the most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons on the planet, the film shows how within the struggle of living with mental illness lies an opportunity to access an infinite, inexhaustible well of strength to achieve our limitless potential. The film aims to ultimately create powerful cultural change around mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

Film screening to be followed by a keynote talk from Drew, and moderated by our very own HQ alum Executive Board Member, PaddyO, titled “My Story is The Story of Our Community: How my lessons from skiing remote peaks and running ultramarathons can shift the culture of the mental health crisis of the Rocky Mountain West.”

THE MISSION

The mission of Feel It All is nothing short of powerful, lasting cultural change of breaking down the stigma around mental health and suicide in order to create a culture that honors and prioritizes mental health in order to save lives and help us thrive as individuals, communities, and as a society.
