'With You' Screening - Jun 18 @ 4pm

Come represent San Francisco Fog RFC as we support the release of With You, a documentary honoring our fallen brother, Mark Bingham. If attending, it is recommended that you wear a white button-down shirt and fog tie.

Doors open at 3:30pm. Tickets may be purchased in advance here. View the original trailer.

Description: WITH YOU is a feature length documentary focusing on the unique bond between a mother and son and how it was ultimately strengthened by the tragedy of 9/11. The film explores the lives of Mark Bingham, one of the heroes of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, and his mother, Alice Hoagland, a former United Airlines flight attendant. Devastated by her loss but inspired by the memory of her son, Alice becomes a nationally known authority on airline safety and a champion of LGBT rights across the country. Within the shadow of a national tragedy, With You illuminates a personal story of love, loss and the true nature of heroism.

Pre-screening meet & greet:
Come meet members of the SF Fog RFC for drinks at Toad Hall before attending the “With You” screening, 2:00-3:15PM.
