Chimborazo Hill

Saturday, Feb 15th, 11am at Barter's Smith Theatre

Long-time liberal activist Carol Rankin is days away from being recognized with a prestigious Humanitarian of the Year Award when long-suppressed truths about a murder on Richmond’s Chimborazo Hill threaten everything she holds dear, including her career, reputation and family. Questions of complicity, hypocrisy and vigilante justice swirl as Carol’s once solid code of ethics is put to the test.
