"The Quiet Force" is a film about the Latino workforce in American ski towns. It’s screening at the 5Point film festival at the Wheeler Opera House this weekend. The subject of undocumented workers is particularly timely in the face of the partial government shutdown over funding for a border wall.
Arts and culture reporter Christin Kay spoke with filmmaker Hilary Byrne about why ski towns rely more on immigrants than other places.
"The Quiet Force" will be screened Friday and Saturday at 5Point Aspen at the Wheeler Opera House. It will be followed by a panel discussion about the immigrant workforce here in the Roaring Fork Valley with filmmaker Byrne and representatives from the Aspen Skiing Company and the Valley Settlement Project.
