TOPIC: Please join us in of private viewing of ‘BORIS’ a post-mortem film of Boris Kaschenko, a dear friend to many Toronto section members. Boris was the Toronto section’s leadership and training committee chair for many years and played a critical role in the development and growth of the club. We are proud to present the film ‘BORIS’ in honour of his life and passion for mountaineering. We would like to thank the Kaschenko family for this amazing opportunity for a private screening of the film.
Boris was a Ukrainian-Canadian mountaineer whose love for mountains was deeply spiritual. Now, his family must face their first expedition without him as they take his ashes to Patagonia – a place he considered Heaven on Earth. A contrast of laughter and tears, BORIS is a story about finding meaning after loss, and the power of nature to heal and unite us.
A Q&A with the family will follow shortly after.
This film will also be part of the Montreal International Documentary Festival
