Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle
Today @ the UWM Union Theatre
This afternoon at 1 p.m., the UWM Union Theatre hosts a free screening of Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle, a 2007 film from director Simon Miller and the first-ever Scottish Gaelic feature. In the story a young boy searches for answers regarding the deaths of his parents with assistance from his aging grandfather. Masterfully shot using the Western Scottish countryside as a backdrop, the film examines in detail Gaelic folktales and oral traditions passed down from generation to generation in Scotland. The young boy and his grandfather find a common ground based on the shared traditions and histories of their native lands.

The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
