  In collaboration with the Austrian Embassy, we are excited to present you a free screening of the documentary "The Volunteers: Mountain Rescue Brings Us Home"

  
  

  The stunning film explores the historical connection between two mountain rescue organizations—one in Seattle, Washington, the other in Tyrol, Austria. This connection ultimately runs through World War II, and the translation of a mountain rescue manual, and their lessons for civic life today. The documentary is not an adventure film, but rather a philosophical meditation. Its underlying premise is that mountain rescue offers a positive, inspiring way of thinking about civic life, especially the relation between local attachment to place and universal human solidarity, that can help transcend political differences.

  We are excited that the co-directors, Mark S. Weiner and David Ritsher, as well as several of the documentary's protagonists from Austria and the U.S. will be available after the screening for a panel discussion and a wine reception. This in-person event will take place at the Embassy of Austria. Don't miss out on this inspiring film!
