Special Screening of "Four More Feet" (Potluck & Movie)
- Feb 7, 2013 · 6:30 PM
Join us for a special screening of “Four More Feet”, a documentary film about Randy Pierce, a blind hiker who takes on the challenge of hiking all of New Hampshire's 48 four-thousand foot peaks in a single winter season. Aided by his service dog, Quinn and several human guides, he had three months to complete this endeavor. Filmmaker Dina Sutin chose to capture this trek on film because she believed there was a compelling story for her to discover and share.
The resulting documentary delivers a journey from exhilaration to exhaustion, and ultimately triumph! With a backdrop of the White Mountains’ most majestic winter moments, it showcases the experience shared by Quinn, Justin Fuller, Randy, and many other hikers along the path. Randy, the filmmaker, and his human guide Justin will all be at the show to answer questions.
Note: This screening, as with all our shows in this series, is free of charge and open to the public and AMC members alike. We do encourage you, if inclined, to make a donation to the charity efforts of 2020 Vision Quest after the show.
