Southbounders

2007 FESTIVAL
85 min.
This independent feature follows Olivia and two other hikers as she searches for life’s meaning through the lens of a grueling six-month walk along the Appalachian Trail. Not just a hiking flick – ultimately, it’s the restorative power of the natural world that helps bring clarity Olivia’s questions. And the film offers a fascinating glimpse into the peculiar subculture of long-distance hiking so that we all understand why so many people head into the wilds to make sense of life’s priorities. Viewer discretion advised: contains brief nudity.
