Ashland, WI here we come!

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.

This is an absolutely fascinating and well-told story of the first Outward Bound course for women, held in the Boundary Waters in 1965.

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. [..] ”
