On Wednesday January 17th, 2024 at the Ellen Theater, The Bozeman Film Society, in collaboration with Eagle Mount, presents an outstanding documentary, FULL CIRCLE. It explores the question, “faced with a traumatic injury that renders you permanently disabled; how would you reinvent yourself?”

It interweaves the stories of two people who not only survived devastating spinal cord injuries, but became inspirations to those who learn of their personal renewal and triumphs. In 2014, 22 year old Trevor Kennison‘s life was forever altered by a broken back. Barry Corbet, an intrepid skier, mountaineer, explorer, filmmaker, and Jackson Hole legend, broke his back in a helicopter crash in 1968. Frustrated by a pre-ADA culture that did not accept or
support the disabled, Barry reinvented himself, becoming a seminal leader in the disability community.
As you will hear in this interview with the film’s director, writer, and cinematographer, Josh Berman, FULL CIRCLE follows Trevor on a path towards post-traumatic growth in parallel with Barry, 50 years later.
Their stories mirror each other, connected through time and space by common locations and motifs; injuries in the Colorado back country, rehab at Denver’s Craig Hospital, fame in Jackson Hole; but also, through their shared resilience and refusal to let their passion for life be limited by their injuries.

FULL CIRCLE is an unblinking examination of the challenges of Spinal Cord Injury, and a celebration of the growth that such tragedy can catalyze.

A guest panel will follow the screening including Adaptive Athletes Drew Asaro, Liz Ann Kudrna, and Beth Barclay Livington.
