Summary

Professional snowboarder and POW founder Jeremy Jones has always had a deep connection to the outdoors. It’s not just his escape—it’s his identity, his passion and his legacy. Growing up in New England, Jeremy carved out his beginnings in the mountains, but in the years since, he’s witnessed troubling changes: wilder weather, fewer snow days and mountain towns struggling to survive.

In this sequel to Purple Mountains, Jeremy returns to his roots in New Hampshire, revisiting the mountains that shaped him. Motivated to protect the places he loves, Jeremy embarks on a journey to bridge the political divide over climate change. He finds common ground with outdoor enthusiasts from all walks of life, understanding their hopes and fears while tackling the issue head-on—from the Mount Washington Valley to the unfrozen waters of Lake Winnipesaukee.

With stunning visuals and raw emotion, Purple Mountains Live Free Or Die offers a timely perspective going into the most critical election of our lifetimes: we may stand on different sides of the climate debate, but our shared love for the outdoors can bring us together.
