Join Bristlecone Film Collective and Tahoe Art Haus for a free outdoor screening of The Last Dive at the Downtown Park Stage in Truckee.
The documentary follows an ex-Hell’s Angel and the unlikely, enduring bond he forms with Willy, a giant manta ray. Visually stunning and deeply emotional, the film explores our connection to the natural world and the wild creatures that help us find our place within it.
Make a night of it with live music and a food truck before the screening. Bring your own beverages and settle in for an evening of film and community outdoors in downtown Truckee.
What is The Last Dive?
In the 1980s, Terry Kennedy sailed to Baja Mexico with a troubled past. What he found there—or perhaps what found him—was Willy: a 22-foot Giant Pacific Manta Ray. For nearly two decades, they dove together, an unlikely bond between man and ocean that transformed Terry's life. Now in his 80s, Terry embarks on one final journey to remote waters, searching not just for Willy, but for closure, redemption, and a chance to say goodbye to the creature that saved him.
