‘1910: The uncovering” revelstoke premiere

November 29th at 7 pm, Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.

Join the Revelstoke Museum & Archives and Revelstoke Railway Museum for the Revelstoke premiere of “1910: The Uncovering” followed by a presentation by Parks Canada and a Q&A.

About the film:

For many years the only transportation link across Canada was one railway line. This tenuous ribbon of steel was built through high, snowy, and unpredictable mountains. The tragic avalanche that occurred at the Rogers Pass summit in March of 1910 remains Canada’s deadliest. 58 railway workers, the majority of whom were Japanese, died while attempting to clear a snow slide from the tracks when another larger avalanche struck from the other side in the middle of the dark night. This documentary project also delves into the lives of two unlikely friends today, a downtown Vancouver businessman, and a Japanese-born ski guide brought together by their need for purpose, healing, and a shared passion for researching the mysteries and injustices of this event.

All proceeds will benefit the Revelstoke Railway Museum and the Revelstoke Museum and Archives.
