76 Days Adrift Film Screening

From Executive Producer Ang Lee comes 76 Days Adrift, a profoundly immersive documentary that plunges you into one man's extraordinary survival story. On February 4, 1982, sailor and author Steven Callahan watched his boat sink after a catastrophic collision with a whale, leaving him stranded in a life raft with only a basic emergency kit. For 76 harrowing days, he drifted across the Atlantic Ocean, battling starvation, exposure, and his own mind. Directed by Joe Wein with an original score by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, this film is a stunning meditation on human endurance, ingenuity, and the raw power of nature. Based on Callahan's New York Times bestseller Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea, this isn't just survival—it's a story about what we're capable of when everything is stripped away.
