Orcas Island ‘ENDURANCE’ Screening

Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary supporting The West Sound Community Club. It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there!

Orcas Island's own Ruth Johnston, Producer on the documentary ENDURANCE will host a screening of the film at The Seaview Theatre: In a legendary feat of leadership an perseverance, polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of their ship in frigid pack ice. Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. From National Geographic Documentary Films and directed by Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin and Natalie Hewit, ENDURANCE tells the inspiring stories of these two landmark expeditions, bound by their shared grit and determination.

Join Ruth and others before the film for a drink and after the film for a Q&A and more. Doors will open at 1:15.
