Movie Night: Touching the Void!

OVERVIEW

Come watch “Touching the Void” with some cool outdoorsy folks. I’ve rented out the mini-movie theater in my apartment complex in Oxford Hills. We’ll meet at the Madhouse, which is the central building in Oxford Hills (you can see it from the road).

The Orange bus will drop you right in front of the Madhouse. If you choose to drive, park on the street or at the park at the bottom of the hill. Bring snacks if you want ’em.

Here’s a more detailed description of the movie:
Mixing interviews with dramatic re-enactments of the event, this gripping docudrama retells the mountaineering trek gone awry of Simon Yates (Nicholas Aaron) and Joe Simpson (Brendan Mackey). While climbing in the Andes, Simpson falls and breaks his leg. Yates, who’s tethered to him, attempts to lower him to safety but fails. He makes a pivotal decision that may or may not save both of their lives. Was he right?
