What, Where, When - 3 Things To Do Around Aspen this week:  February 4 - February 11, 2017

2/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Each week, we take a look at events and happenings in The Valley and choose three things that look adventurous from Aspen down to Glenwood Springs.  Here are my picks of the week:  Wheeler Opera House Do Not Resist Documentary, Chocolate Classic Event at Hotel Jerome, and Special Olympics’ Colorado Winter Games.    Bonus:  JAS Aspen update of newly added shows.

What: Do Not Resist Film DocumentaryWhere: Aspen @ Wheeler Opera HouseWhen: Monday, February 6, 2017 @ 6:30 pmAcross America, citizens are protesting police shootings; small cities are acquiring military-grade armored vehicles, despite opposition from citizens; heavily armed SWAT teams are issuing intrusive no-call warrants; and legislators are hotly debating the merits of spending billions of dollars on conflict-grade police equipment.
Do Not Resist, a stunning debut documentary by Craig Atkinson, takes us inside the increasingly militarized world of police culture in the U.S. With incredible access, the film offers an alarming montage of policing issues across the country — from the chaotic riots in Ferguson, Missouri, to drug raids in the rural south, a national police training seminar, committee meetings in Capitol Hill and tactical training camps for SWAT members. The result is a rare and surprising look into the disturbing and systemic realities of our country’s uniformed officers.
Also being screened is Looking for Trouble, the documentary about humanitarian engineer Fred Cuny and his bold actions during the Bosnian War. His mission: to smuggle a water filtration system into the besieged city of Sarajevo to save the crumbling city.
Looking for Trouble is the journey of a man who valued lives over bureaucracy. It’s the legacy of a man with radical ideas and the charisma to see them realized. It’s the tale of a city fighting for survival. It’s the story of responsibility, sacrifice and what is takes to change the world.

Tickets are $15.00

    I wanted to ensure that other visitors to the valley could have one resource that has it all – dining, announcements, seasonal activities, cultural, entertainment, and more.  So I founded Around Aspen to help everyone find a great time in the Valley.
