Red Dot on the Ocean-the Story of Matt RutherfordA Film by Amy FlanneryFriday, July 17 1:30 pm $5/$8 NMOnce labeled a ‘youth-at-risk’ Matt Rutherford risks it all in a death-defying attempt to be the first person to sail alone and nonstop around North and South America. Professional sailors called him crazy and declared the journey ‘a suicide mission.’ Braving the icebergs of the Arctic and the stormy seas of Cape Horn is no easy feat for any sailor. Sitting in a jail cell at 17, he had an epiphany and began to turn his life around. He bought his first sailboat sight unseen on the Internet and learned to sail on the fly. Four years later, he embarked on a single-handed voyage from the US to Europe, West Africa and back to the Caribbean. Don’t miss this exciting story
