Red Days

By Rachel Bublitz

Directed by Erica Case

As the air quality in Salt Lake climbs to crisis levels, we follow Dianna through four seasons, trying to balance school, her running team, and pursuing her passion. But as she nears the end of her senior year, she’s forced to decide if her running dream truly belongs to her, or if it’s more her mother’s, while around her the serious effects of the air quality wreak havoc on those athletes who dare breathe hard in the open air.
