The Crash Reel

The Crash Reel Information

The Crash Reel is a documentary film directed by Lucy Walker which premiered as the Opening Night Gala film on 19 January 2013 at the Sundance Film Festival.

Lucy first met Kevin Pearce (snowboarder) while mentoring at a retreat intended to inspire Nike, Inc's action sports athletes to use their platform for social change at the invitation of David Mayer de Rothschild who had created the event. Lucy was immediately struck by Kevin and wanted to make a documentary film about him, and the result is "The Crash Reel", which premiered at Sundance film festival on January 19, 2013 as the Opening Night Gala film in the Documentary Premieres section (out of competition).

The film is described as a jaw-dropping story of one unforgettable athlete, Kevin Pearce; one eye-popping sport, snowboarding; and one explosive issue, traumatic brain injury. Through 20 years of sports and verite footage, The Crash Reel chronicles the epic rivalry between Kevin and Shaun White which culminates in Kevin's life-changing crash and a comeback story with a difference. The film also showcases the Pearce family, including Kevin's father glass-blower Simon Pearce and Kevin's brother David C. Pearce who describes his struggle to accept his Down Syndrome.

The film also premiered at the X Games on 23 January 2013 in Aspen as the first ever movie to play as a featured part of the event.
