Passage – Documentary Film Screening

October 16 and 17, 1:00 p.m.

Filmmaker John Walker brings to life the incredible story of John Rae who, in 1854, uncovered the fate of British explorer Sir John Franklin and his crew of 128 men who had perished in the Arctic during an ill-fated attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. Passage is a story of incredible sacrifice, stunning distortions of truth, and single-minded obsession.
