I'll Push You Book Discussion

Description

LIBRARY PARTNERING WITH CULTURAL ASSOCIATION TO PRESENT DOCUMENTARY
The Edith B. Siegrist Vermillion Public Library and the Vermillion Downtown Cultural Association are bringing an inspirational new documentary to RED Auditorium at the Coyote Twin Theatre for a one-night showing.
I’ll Push You’ is an up-close and personal look into the dynamics of a life-long friendship between two best friends – Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray – as they travel across El Camino de Santiago.  This feature-length documentary covers the struggle of the 35-day, 500-mile wheelchair journey across mountains, deserts, hills, and valleys and features perspectives from family and friends.  Even though the story begins with the challenge that comes with Patrick’s willingness to push Justin in a wheelchair across northern Spain, ‘I’ll Push You’ also explores the struggles related to Justin’s rare neurological disease.  The parallel paths of Patrick’s experience in Spain and Justin’s life journey come together in a singular moment to reveal their similarities where Patrick discovers he’s both the pusher and the pushed.  The story’s beautiful cinematography is set to poignant music tracks which perfectly underscores the inspiring example of love, vulnerability and community.
The event begins at 7:00 pm on Monday, March 5^th at the Coyote Twin Theatre’s RED Auditorium.
A discussion of the book will follow on Monday, April 2nd, 7:00 pm at the Vermillion Public Library. Copies of the book can be checked out now by visiting the Library’s Circulation Desk, or by calling for more information: 605.677.7060.
This event is free and open to the public. 
The Coyote Twin Theatre is located at 10 E Main Street in Vermillion, and the Public Library is located at 18 Church Street, Vermillion. For questions, call the Vermillion Public Library at 605-677-7060.
