Mountain Rescue Brings Us Home

A new feature-length documentary, coming soon!

A historian explores the surprising connections between two mountain rescue organizations on opposite sides of the world.

Two mountain rescue organizations—one near Seattle, Washington, the other in Tyrol, Austria—are linked by a surprising connection. Take a journey with historian Mark S. Weiner from America to Austria and back again as he considers the origins and meaning of their work. Both groups have grown from a strong sense of place ... because before you can save a stranger, you first must love your home.
