Join us to celebrate Sukkot with the movie screening of the documentary "500 Days In The Wild", including a Q&A session with filmmaker and director Dianne Whelan!

"500 Days In The Wild," a documentary film that follows filmmaker Dianne Whelan's 6-year journey on all 24,000 km of the land and water trails on the longest trail in the world. Weaving together a total experience of adventure, personal reflections, stunning wildlife and beautiful cinematography, and a great soundtrack, 500 Days in the Wild will entertain audiences and inspire hope for the future. 

Award-winning director and cinematographer Dianne Whelan is the first person to complete this epic journey of discovery — hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing and skiing across Canada. 
For a woman in her 50s who is not an extreme athlete, it was sometimes gruelling, occasionally harrowing, often exhilarating and always surprising. She started out alone, disillusioned with the state of the world and worried about climate change, to look for different ways of caring for the land and each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in love and with a passion to share this story.

After the screening we will host the filmmaker Dianne Whelan via Zoom for a session of Q&A.

Afterward, you are welcome to bring your dinner and have it in the Sukkah with us!
