The Crash Reel — Four years ago pro-snowboarder Kevin Pearce was at the pinnacle of his career. He was hot favourite for gold at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the only man who stood a chance of stealing Shaun White's crown. But on New Year’s Eve 2009, he slammed the right side of his head into the icy lip of a halfpipe while practising a double cork, and his life changed forever. Since then he has been struggling with serious brain damage. Oscar-winner Lucy Walker has turned Kevin's story into a remarkable documentary: The Crash Reel, out this Friday.
