It is a deceptively simple premise for a two-hour feature film. A married couple who had planned their retirement in a B&B are, due to dire financial circumstances and bum luck, forced out of their home at a point that is, on the surface at least, completely devastating.
With their kids now off at school, they make the decision to pack up what they can in their backpacks and take off on the Salt Path, a 630-mile stretch from Dorset to Somerset on the Southwestern English Coast.
To make matters worse, the husband has just been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease, but they are bound and determined to complete this adventure, perhaps the last of their lives because they have no other choice.
Oh, and it is a 100% true story. Exquisitely directed by four-time Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Angels in America, Company, Death of a Salesman) with a screenplay by Rebecca Lenkiewicz (She Said) based on Raynor Winn’s 2018 memoir, The Salt Path is an inspiring story of love and resilience in a situation that might otherwise break most people, especially a couple entering their later years with little hope against an unforgiving system.
