HOT SPRINGS, S.D. - The Hot Springs Theatre will present the movie, INTO THE WILD, screenplay and directed by Sean Penn on Friday, November 23, 2007 at 7:00 p.m., as a Benefit for the Hot Springs Food Pantry.
INTO THE WILD follows the life of idealist Christopher Johnson McCandless, who after graduating from college in 1990, cuts all ties with family and friends, gives his entire savings to charity and begins an adventurous journey focused upon living off the land in Alaska. His journey brought him through Carthage, South Dakota in early 1992 where he worked at a grain elevator to save money for his journey to Fairbanks, Alaska. McCandless hitchhiked to Fairbanks and entered the wilderness in April 1992.
A best-selling non-fiction written by Jon Krakauer in 1996; the book is about the adventures of Christopher McCandless. It is an expansion of Krakauer's 9,000-word article, "Death of an Innocent", which appeared in the January 1993 issue of Outside Krakauer intersperses McCandless's story with a discussion of the wilderness experiences of people such as John Muir and John Menlove Edwards, as well as some of his own adventures.
