December Prize
BODE MILLER: FLYING DOWNHILL
The Origin of an American Icon
A Film by Bill Rogers on DVD  

Always controversial, New Hampshire’s Bode Miller prefers to live free or die. That’s why Portsmouth filmmaker Bill Rogers made this fantastic documentary about a fantastic skier. It appeared last year just as Bode Miller was being featured on the covers of both TIME and NEWSWEEK magazine. The film is no less exciting and relevant today, which is why we asked producer-writer-cameraman-editor Bill Rogers to award two lucky SeacoastNH.com readers with a copy of the his fast-packed DVD. Rogers worked on the film for seven years. Flying Downhill is more than an action sports film. Rogers is fascinated by the man himself and how his origin as the son of hippie NH parents, inspired his sense of self and forged a very different kind of sports hero. Bode Miller thinks for himself and acts out what he thinks. To read more about the film and Bill’s other work at the CORUWAY INSTITUTIE click here.

DECEMBER QUESTION

Henry Shute was also the judge of the Exeter police court for 53 years – a man on both sides of the law – so to speak. Shute eventually wrote 18 novels about his gang of Exeter delinquents. What was the name of the main character, the "real boy", based on the author himself? (CLICK HERE for a hint)
