THE MYSTERY
“Early 90’s, that was the heyday of squirt boating. Squirt boaters were everywhere. And then all of a sudden... they were gone.” It was the cutting edge of whitewater kayaking. But as the sport faded into obscurity, what happened to all those squirt boaters? Filmmaker Forest Whitaker will attend the screening.

MYRTLE SIMPSON: A LIFE ON ICE
Myrtle Simpson - trailblazer, pioneer, adventurer, mountain climber, polar explorer, writer, and mother. In 2017, over fifty years after she became the first woman to cross the polar ice cap covering Greenland, she was awarded the Polar Medal - a gift from Queen Elizabeth II as thanks for services in the Arctic. In 2018, National Geographic named her as one of four women who defied expectations and explored the world. Myrtle's life has taken her around the globe, journeys on which she insisted on taking her four children while she and her husband Hugh pursued their work and passion. Myrtle faced harsh criticism for "putting her children in harm's way" but defiantly persisted, telling the newspapers, tv and radio that these experiences enriched her children's lives far beyond their typical everyday experiences in Glasgow. From Spitzbergen to Greenland, from the North Pole to the Highlands of Scotland, from New Zealand to Peru, Myrtle has blazed her own, unique trail. She has experienced places most people only dream about, all while writing 13 books, collecting specimens for museum botanical collections and raising four children. Today, at the age of 89 she still competes in downhill ski races, hikes, bikes and swims and believes that more adventures await.

There’s a subculture of kayaking known by few and understood by fewer. The paddlers don diving goggles and neoprene and slide into thin uncomfortable boats designed to sink. In contrast to the show boating sports we see daily on the internet, the point is not to be seen, but to disappear. This is squirt boating.


After its heyday in the early 1990s, the scene has all but disappeared. THE MYSTERY offers a rare glimpse into the obscure sport of squirt boating and the dedicated few who continue to keep the tradition alive.


Tommy Penick and Forest Woodward's paths crossed in happenstance, thousands of miles from their beloved rivers and shared home in the southeast. After exploring, reveling, and working together around the country, the boys finally found a story that summarized the humility and the heritage of the river scene in the southeast that they both dearly loved, and began working on The Mystery--trying to capture the essence of those who quite literally disappear.
