Red Fever uncovers the surprising truths behind the imagery — so buried in history that even most Native people don`t know about them.

It’s a chance to sneak a peek before the Festival\, plus a great opportunity to introduce your friends to the wonderful and thought-provoking films the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film brings to the Pikes Peak region. \nRegister for free! \nThe following short films are presented at Fountain Library in partnership with  Pikes Peak Library District. \nMOTORCYCLE MARY\nDirected by Haley Watson\nThe untold story of legendary motorsports pioneer Mary McGee with stunning never-before-seen archival footage and stills\, an undaunted racing career spanning thirty years that saw Mary shatter gender norms while mastering multiple racing disciplines. Following in her brother’s footsteps\, Mary’s remarkable racing odyssey begins in the world of cars\, where she outshines her male competitors\, only to later discover her greatest sense of freedom racing motorcycles. Mary pushes herself to greater and greater heights—culminating in her most hair-raising challenge: Attempting to become the first person ever to solo the grueling Baja 500 on a motorcycle. \nSTRONG GRANDMA\nDirected by Cecilia Brown & Winslow Crane-Murdoch\n95-year-old Catherine Kuehn is a world record winning deadlifter. As she prepares for her last competition she reflects on the love\, and the loss\, that brought her to this moment. \n \nFIRE TOWER\nDirected by Tova Krentzman\nHigh in the Rocky Mountains\, nestled in the boreal forest\, are solitary sentinels who survey the landscape as a critical first line of defence in wildfire detection. As North America grapples every year with the threat and devastation of such fires\, which is increasing due to climate change\, those who work the watchtowers with a bird’s-eye view sound the critical alarm that warns of impending danger. Like the occupations of lighthouse keeper or astronaut\, the remote locations and voluntary isolation that are part of the job—along with the very real risk of being struck by lightning—attract a unique kind of individual to this vocation.
