Via stunning on-slope footage and incisive interviews, Matt Goodman's documentary For Right or Wrong investigates the common threads that unite all professional snowboarders: an overwhelming fear, and the sensation of rushing headlong into the great unknown. Although such trepidation can easily exhilarate, it can also just as readily pull a participant over the precipice and into death's jaws. Goodman provides a firsthand on-camera glimpse of this sport as it evolves from a dangerous underground phenomena into a mainstream activity, with all of the assets and liabilities that accompany this shift. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

When snowboarding first appeared on the winter sports scene, it was regarded as a novelty by many who saw it as the snowbound equivalent of skateboarding. But just as skateboarding grew from a pastime for rebels and punk rockers into the vanguard event of the extreme sports revolution and the hobby of millions, snowboarding has done the same for winter athletics, and its introduction at the Winter Olympics has allowed it to become one of the first sports to move from the "extreme" underground to acceptance by the mainstream sporting community. Snow Blind is a documentary which examines the past and present of snowboarding, as some of the world's leading boarders and key behind-the-scenes figures talk about the history and philosophy behind the sport, as well as showing off some of their most spectacular moves on the powder. Snow Blind includes footage of Kier Dillon, Abe Teter, Steve Hayes, Molly Aguirre, Brent Meyer, Luke Mitrani, Kimmy Fasani, Sherman Poppen, and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
