TPT - Twin Cities PBS WOB viewing party - an inspirational evening

On March 20, 2018 TPT - Twin Cities PBS hosted a 'Women Outward Bound' viewing party at their studios during the LIVE broadcast. The whole team behind the 'Women Outward Bound' documentary was there, director Maxine Davis, cinematographer/editor Nick Clausen and producer/writer Melody Gilbert and a couple of the women who participated in the first all-women OB in 1965.

Here are some pics from the event:
