Newport Film hosts a screening of “76 Days Adrift,” a profoundly immersive documentary from Executive Producer Ang Lee that plunges viewers into the heart of one man’s extraordinary survival story.

Steven Callahan, the author of the New York Times bestseller “Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea,” recounts the night of Feb. 4, 1982, when a catastrophic collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the dead of night. With the Atlantic Ocean surging into his vessel, Steven had only moments to grab what he could before launching himself into the dark, unforgiving sea in a life raft, clutching a basic emergency kit.

For an astonishing 76 days, that fragile inflatable raft became Steven’s entire world as he drifted helplessly across the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Forced to confront his deepest fears, limitations, and the raw power of nature, he discovered an inner strength he never knew he possessed.

The screening will take place at the JPT Film & Event Center, 49 Touro St., Newport, on Thursday, Sept. 19. Tickets are $15 per person. The venue opens at 6 p.m., and the film begins at 7 p.m. There will be a post-film conversation with Robert F. Sennott (executive producer).
