Alison Gannett, A MoveShake Story

Alison Gannett is a renowned professional skier who understands the connection between the environment and outdoor pursuits. Heading up three nonprofits, including Save Our Snow, she also runs a 75-acre farm in Paonia, Colorado, She is unnerved, however, because the land she nurtures is threatened by natural gas interests. This profile of Gannett is one in a series called “MoveShake” by filmmaker Alexandra Bombach, and it will also be a part of the Dear Governor Hickenlooper project being launched at Mountainfilm this year. What you see in this short film is a woman who sustains passion and optimism, even as her immediate surroundings face potential destruction.
