7 p.m., Wednesday, July 30; Northwest Film Center

John Waller's "Mending the Line" is a deeply personal documentary about Frank and Jeanne Moore.

Born in Carlton, Frank is a 90-year-old World War II vet who survived the D-Day Invasion. Sixty-nine years later, the renowned Oregon angler is fulfilling his dream of returning to France to fish their rivers.

Engaging in his favorite hobby in the place of his greatest trauma brings Frank healing. It also brings him closer to the true love of his life: his wife.

Director John Waller will introduce the film, and both of the Moores will be on hand for questions.
