DOROTHY MOLTER Living in the Boundary Waters

VHS or DVD, $35.00

A forty two minute color video by Judith Hadel and Wade Black who worked with Dorothy for four years to capture this candid look into her life. They hauled their film gear in by canoe or dogsled. Staying in her cabins, they became close to Dorothy, playing card and board games late at night. The result is a remarkable film. It's beautiful to look at and listen to. It's personal, touched with Dorothy's low-key humor, narrated by Dorothy herself.
