Every year, injured Israeli soldiers travel to Aspen for a week. There they share their personal stories with the Aspen community, and in return are taught to tackle the slopes to try to overcome the limitations their injuries have caused. The Golshim L’Chaim – Ski to Live program proves that the human spirit can overcome many of life’s challenges. Ski alongside the four Israeli soldiers that are profiled in this uplifting and beautifully photographed documentary.
This screening is in honor of Sylvia Robinson and in collaboration with American Friends of Israel War Disabled.
