The Weight of Water

10/19 SCREENING ON STANDBY - TICKETS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE!
 
Sponsored by: Ellenbecker Investment Group, Inc.

Director Michael Brown in attendance for 10/24 screening!

The whitewater rapids of the Colorado River that wind through the Grand Canyon are among the most iconic and dangerous in the world, but that danger is compounded for Erik Weihenmayer, a blind man determined to kayak them. If you loved both the stunning vistas and the death-defying thrill of recent Oscar-winner Free Solo, don’t miss this inspiring documentary that proves disability can never disable the human spirit.

 

"The struggle to stay above the water can be harrowing. Brown and Masser capture the beauty of the journey and emotional stakes of Erik's journey."
