Movie Haiku:Kevin Pearce is a snowboard star who suffered critical injuries in 2009 while training for the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Walker takes us thru his astonishing rise & crippling fall, all the while gently questioning the sponsors & fans who have turned X-Sports from joyous competition into blood lust. Another nail in the coffin on the topic of athletes with traumatic brain injury.
