Free Film Screening: "The Volunteers: Mountain Rescue Brings Us Home"
Come join us for a special screening of the documentary film "The Volunteers: Mountain Rescue Brings Us Home" at the Embassy of Austria.
The stunning film explores the historical connection between two mountain rescue organizations—one in Seattle, Washington, the other in Tyrol, Austria. This connection ultimately runs through World War II, and the translation of a mountain rescue manual, and their lessons for civic life today. The documentary is not an adventure film, but rather a philosophical meditation. Its underlying premise is that mountain rescue offers a positive, inspiring way of thinking about civic life, especially the relation between local attachment to place and universal human solidarity, that can help transcend political differences.
