PITTSBORO, NC— Chatham Community Library will host a virtual film screening of Into the Canyon (2019). This program is free and open to the public.

WHAT: Virtual Film Screening: Into the Canyon

WHEN: Thursday, September 18 – Thursday, September 25, 2025

WHERE: Virtual Program (see registration details below)

ABOUT THE FILM: In 2016 filmmaker/photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko set out on a 750-mile journey on foot through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. From the outset, the challenge was far more than they bargained for. More people have stood on the moon than have completed a continuous through-hike of the Canyon. McBride and Fedarko took a sectional approach, achieving a feat that many adventurers have taken decades to complete. Others have lost their lives trying. But their quest was more than just an endurance test – it was also a way to draw attention to the unprecedented threats facing one of our most revered landscapes.

Film Highlights and Awards:
2020 Winner New Zealand Mountain Film & Book Festival Best Environmental Film
