This week on Valley Roundup, we look back at some of the most interesting and important stories of the year. 2017 has been a politically charged year across America, and many national issues are very real on a local level in the Roaring Fork Valley too. Local “Dreamers” rallied in Glenwood Springs. The Aspen Film Fest Academy Screenings grapplewith the #MeToo movement. Aspen City Council dealt with things like tobacco, chain stores and water rights.

Joining host Elizabeth Stewart-Severy is the Aspen Public Radio news team: Alycin Bektesh, Wyatt Orme and Claire Woodcock.
