“Paddle to Seattle” is one of those movies that is summed up neatly by its title. Itâ??s about two guys who, well, paddle to Seattle. In 2008, J.J. Kelley and Josh Thomas built their own kayaks and paddled 1,300 miles from Alaska to Seattle along the Pacific shoreline, filming along the way.
The feature-length documentary, edited by UW-Madison graduate Ben Gottfried, screened Sunday afternoon to an enthusiastic crowd in the Wisconsin Union Theater as part of the Wisconsin Film Festival.
