Here is what they had to say about our documentary:
“There’s a reason we chose this film as our Friday night feature film: once the committee started watching this we couldn’t stop. (Confession: Because of all the films we have to screen in creating the program, if we see a feature length film we think we like, we usually delegate it to a subcommittee to watch in its entirety, and then to make a recommendation back to the full committee.) This is an absolutely fascinating and well-told story of the first Outward Bound course for women, held in the Boundary Waters in 1965. Because this was recognized at the time as a ground-breaking moment, the course was well documented in film and still photos, which Maxine Davis combines with participants’ journal entries, her own recollections, and interviews with her fellow alumni of the course, to create a stunning portrait of the time. The course changed most participants’ lives forever, and for the better. We see many of them as they make a return trip to Ely 50 years later. [..] ”
"Max talks about her film Women Outward Bound and its growth from a desire to reunite. She also talks briefly about the five stories that mean the most to her. Co-Producer, Director, Co-Screenwriter [34:55]"
