Sundance Takes To The Streets Against ICE & Latest Killing; Elijah Wood Among Demonstrators

Protesters gather at the Sundance Film Festival Deadline Refresh for more…It was arguably the shortest of protests in recent memory at the Sundance Film Festival as roughly 100 demonstrators assembled outside 577 Main Street in Park City, Utah to rally against the ongoing ICE raids and to remember Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were fatally shot respectively by ICE and border patrol agents. “Sundancers Melt Ice” lasted for 10 minutes at sunset with attendees chanting “Love Melts Ice! Love melts ice!” and also saw the turnout of Lord of the Rings actor Elijah Wood.
