On Tuesday, July 26th at 7:30 pm, Bozeman Film Society concludes it’s 2015-2016 season with the Montana premiere of The Grand Rescue, a gripping true story of the 1967 rescue on the feared North Face of the Grand Teton that became legend. Seven park rangers risked their lives to save a severely injured climber and his companion — the rescue took three harrowing days, pushed the team to the edge of their abilities, and cemented a lifelong bond. Remarkably, once safe, the injured climber publicly criticized the very men who risked their lives to save his. Looking back after more than 40 years, the rescuers and survivors recount the 3-day trial with a mixture of honesty and unabashed candor. 60 minutes. Not Rated.
Q&A follows with Rick Reese and Bill Irvine, former Teton park rangers & members of the original rescue team, who will answer questions and draw comparisons with current search and rescue techniques after the screening. A portion of the evenings proceeds will benefit Gallatin Valley Search and Rescue.
