Here's what you might expect at the International Fly Fishing Film Festival tonight:

"Five or six bro-dudes, showing how they got to the river, drinking beer, and at the end they're holding these giant fish up."

Here's what you wouldn't expect: the story of a racist, trouble-making small town kid and how, through his willingness to "go down the wormhole" of questioning his beliefs, came out on the other side as a new man.

Doors open tonight at Zeitgeist at 6:00pm for the International Fly Fishing Film Festival.
