The Hike Back Screening – Huntington Beach California

The Film:

For many of America's Veterans, the toughest battle begins when they come home. As a result, what started as a suicide crisis within the Military has become a full-blown silent epidemic claiming untold numbers. The Hike Back is the story of Irreverent Warriors, a free-spirited and unique organization started by Veterans for Veterans – their mission is to end Veteran suicide. The crazy thing? Where pills and therapy are failing, they are succeeding. The Hike Back is the story of raw and broken Veterans turning the tide — one hike at a time.

Your Hosts:

Irreverent Warriors Huntington Beach has hosted annual Silkies Hikes (veteran suicide prevention hikes) in Los Angeles and Orange County since 2019. We are deeply committed to our mission of bringing veterans together, using humor and camaraderie, to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide. This film allows us to invite you, our local community, to take a peek inside our world. This film defines why our mission is important for so many of our veteran family, friends, and neighbors, and why we will continue to bring Silkies Hikes to communities all around Southern California.

The Event:

Doors at Huntington Beach Library Theater will open at 6:45 pm, with the screening beginning promptly at 7:30 pm. Please note, no food or drink is allowed inside the theater. Parking onsite is free.

Dress Code: In the spirit of irreverence, this is a Pseudo-Red Carpet Event (photo op): Theater Night attire/Silkies underneath welcome.
