Call of the Ice
Harkins Sedona 6 -Theatre 1 Wed, Feb 22, 2017 3:00 PM
Leaving everything behind to live in Greenland as an Inuit hunter, alone in the heart of the polar winter, battling with the Arctic ice pack and its laws. Mike Magidson, an American-born film director, has lived in France for 20 years. Despite being raised with all the comforts that the modern society has to offer, constantly connected to his IPhone, he makes the decision to take on a unique challenge: attempting to survive over a period of several weeks, alone on the ice floe, fishing and hunting like an Inuit. To embark alone on such a daunting adventure, with so little experience, sounds crazy. But Mike knows exactly where he is going. His destination is Uummannaq, Greenland, 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and one of the last places on earth where dogsleds are still a valid choice of transportation. He is familiar with this part of the world, where he has already made 3 movies over a period of 15 years.

Good Fortune
Sedona Performing Arts Center Sat, Feb 25, 2017 6:00 PM
In a time when the rich are seen as 'the greedy 1%', one man uses his wealth to make the world a better place while encouraging others to do the same. Born into impoverished beginnings in East Los Angeles, at times homeless and living in his car, John Paul DeJoria spent his early adulthood in and out of motorcycle gangs including the Satan Slaves and Hells Angels. After losing his brother in a horrific motorcycle accident, 'JP' transformed his life and built a wildly successful line of hair care products with Paul Mitchell. Proving his success wasn’t a just fluke, JP then created the largest tequila brand in the world – Patron. "Good Fortune" reveals the success secret of one of the world's most celebrated entrepreneurs: giving back. A modern day Robin Hood of sorts, JP spends his life creating back-to-work programs for the homeless, fighting whale poachers in the Arctic and working on over 100 other philanthropic ventures. His motto is “success unshared is failure.”
