My opportunity to broaden the love for freestyle skiing outside our community.

So I am a member of my school's environmental club, CENIC, and twice every school year we have CENIC week. The main idea behind CENIC week is to increase the awareness of our effects on the environment throughout the school.
This year I am trying to propose the idea of presenting a ski movie to the school as a means of raising funds. I have been in contact with a few film companies and they all have been super helpful about this whole thing. But my main dilemma is finding the right movie to show. I was just wondering if anyone out there could help me out. It does not necessarily have to be the sickest movie of the year (in our point of view), but it has to appeal to your normal, rich, New York City gaper. I had a feeling something like "Such Is Life" would be a good choice because there is a lot of big mountain skiing and not a lot of gansta rap.
Sparknotes:
Trying to host a ski movie screening, but I can't find the right one. The main goals of screening this movie are to raise funds, awareness concerning climate change, and increase awareness about our glorious sport of skiing.
 
wasnt there a euro ski movie that came out this year about global warming or something? sorry, i know it exists, i just dont know the name.
 
wheres this in NYC...id support something like that if it was the chance for me to see a movie i havnt seen
 
Thanks a lot guys for the suggestions! Karma for all. I am making my proposal today, so lets see how it turns out. If you have anymore suggestions, please post them up. Thanks.
 
i dont think you want to go with a movie that has a lot of bigmountain skiing. I would think that the typical gaper woudn't realize its steepness or difficulty just by wathcing it on a screen. Taking a page from the X-Games, I think you want something with more big air, and tricks like double fronts. I also don't think Ny City kids mind rap or reggae, I feel they prefer it, at my old private white school in chicago almost ever white kid listened to rap singularly.
 
I see Seven Sunny Days as a gaper introduction to ski films, basically a better version of Warren Miller, they always seem to like it.
