Suffer Out Loud Partners with Bozeman Health for a Film Screening

Film screening and conversation on mental health happening September 4

Monday Sep. 2nd, 2024

BOZEMAN  — The community is invited to join Suffer Out Loud, Bozeman Health and Charlie Health for the Montana premiere of Feel It All and a conversation on mental health in the mountains with professional skier, director and public speaker, Drew Petersen.

Feel It All chronicles professional skier Drew Petersen’s journey from the depths of suicidal depression to the resilience and strength found in running—and skiing the peaks surrounding— the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon.

The film screening will be followed by a keynote talk from Petersen titled “My Story is The Story of Our Community: How my lessons from skiing remote peaks and running ultramarathons can shift the culture of the mental health crisis of the Rocky Mountain West.”

Cassie Jackson, Suffer Out Loud Executive Director shares, “I’m thrilled to bring this powerful film sharing Drew’s story to Bozeman. At Suffer Out Loud, we believe that starting critical conversations about mental health is essential to breaking down stigma and fostering a supportive community. Feel It All is more than just a film; it’s an opportunity for us all to come together, share our stories, and create a culture where mental health is openly discussed and valued."

The event will take place on Wednesday, September 4 at 7 p.m. at the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture. Tickets are a $15 and can be purchased here.
