Film By Locals & Friends
REDISCOVERING NORTH AMERICA - (2 showings)

This amazing adventure of four St.
Cloud natives and two more friends is a story of will, might, and friendship. In 2015, these six guys set out on a 5200 mile canoe ride that started in the Gulf of Mexico and ending in the Arctic Ocean. Their journey was documented on film and video and this documentary is now going to make its St. Cloud Premier at Pioneer Place Theatre on Wednesday, September 28 at 7pm and 9pm. All the men who made this incredible journey will be on hand for question and answers and a celebration of this incredible feat. Get your tickets now as the premier is certain to sell out.  GET YOUR TICKETS
