Both of these films are truly great – and are guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye of even the coldest human beings.

If you haven’t yet seen The Crash Reel, it documents the life of pro snowboarder Kevin Pearce, who suffered a terrible crash in 2010 while training for the Winter Olympics that left him with life-altering brain damage.

It’s A Wonderful Life – while brilliant – is in essence a big American schmoozefest about a dude who really doesn’t like working in a bank.

If you want real life drama, the shocking reality of competitive snowboarding along with a heartwarming message about family and community, The Crash Reel has it by the bucket load.

Which should I watch? The Crash Reel, for sure. We ride for Kevin!
