"Frozen Chosen
"
...Sturgeon Spearing on Lake Winnebago
April 16th from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
SC Johnson's Golden Rondell Theater
Each winter, a monstrous beast lures men to risk their lives on the unstable ice of a barren North American lake. These men brave sub-zero conditions and arm themselves with only a primitive spear. Beneath the ice lurks their prehistoric quarry, filled with the elusive, primitive lake sturgeon. Men have hunted with spears for centuries, but Lake Winnebago is the only lake on the planet where it still occurs. "The Frozen Chosen" introduces you to the obsessed men who are willing to wait days, years, even decades to throw their spears and brings you face-to-face with the monsters below. Wisconsin Documentarian and Producer of "The Frozen Chosen," Steve Boettcher, is a five-time Emmy-winning filmmaker. His current work includes producing and directing PBS's national series Pioneers of Television, now in its fourth season. His other television projects include productions for History Channel, Discovery Channel, BBC, CBS and NBC. A short presentation and Q&A session with Steve Boettcher will take place immediately following the screening. The film is 56 minutes long and is not rated.
