Join the #AdventureMN Film Fest on Nov. 7 at Lakes & Legends Brewing Company for a screening of “Homecoming: A Boundary Waters Story,” by Joe Fairbanks.
SYNOPSIS:
In 2017, upon Joe’s graduation from Dartmouth, Joe Fairbank’s father gave him a homemade wood canvas canoe. The original idea for “Homecoming” was to document Joe taking his father’s canoe on a maiden voyage into the watershed where he learned to paddle as a boy –the same waters that are endangered by proposed copper-sulfide mining today.
Plans changed when Joe was diagnosed with cancer in April 2018. Rather than embarking on the proposed 14-day canoe expedition through the Boundary Waters that July, filming took place in two windows: a 7-day trip between Joe’s radiation therapy and surgery in June 2018, and a 7-day trip after Joe had recovered from surgery in October 2018.
This is the tale of that story.
