Take the Hill

Directed by David Holbrooke

Dick Grace is a man of intriguing contractions. He served in the U.S. Marines and later in life, befriended the Dalai Lama. He made a lot of money in finance, but gave most of it away. And while he’s best known as the proprietor of the famous Grace Family Vineyards in California’s Napa Valley, he is a recovering alcoholic who doesn’t drink. This film profiles the octogenarian, who lives by altruism, is a font of wit and wisdom, and can teach all of us a few things about forging a rich existence during our time on Earth.
