Free Outdoor Movie: The Ascent
Event Description:
Join us and Bristlecone Film Collective for the last FREE movie in our outdoor series - the SXSW Audience Award-winning feature documentary, The Ascent. Featuring live music before the screening starts!
This is a free event but registration is appreciated. At the Community Center in downtown Truckee.
The film follows Mandy Horvath, a bilateral amputee, who attempts to crawl to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro on her hands. Years earlier, a night out with friends escalated into tensions at a local bar. Her next memory: waking in an ambulance surrounded by paramedics, both legs gone. What happened between the bar and the hospital remains a mystery - shattering Mandy's trust in the world. Will the climb help her regain that trust?
