Film: "Hold Fast"

Saturday Feb 23, 9PM @ Red Emma's

A personal story of a journey of adventure and danger on the high seas. Over the course of two winters, four members of the Anarchist Yacht Club rescued a derelict boat from the inhospitable waters of Ft. Lauderdale, named it the S/V Pestilence, and sailed south to Haiti. Hold Fast describes what drew these friends to the ocean, and tells the story of what they discovered in the sea. It paints a picture of the S/V Pestilence in the context of all the sailing maniacs who have come before, and ultimately attempts to suggest that the secret is always to begin.  Filmmaker on hand for discussion after the film!
