The Salt Path
A film adaptation of Raynor Winn’s novel The Salt Path, about an elderly couple who unexpectedly lose their home and then embark on a challenging trek along the British coast. Starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.
Raynor and Moth Winn live on an old farmhouse in Wales that they have converted into a thriving B&B. A speculation scandal causes them to lose their home and on top of that, Moth is diagnosed with a serious illness. With nothing left and very little time, they make an impulsive decision: they will walk the ancient South West Coast Path, hoping that the challenging journey from Dorset to Somerset will offer them solace. Armed with a small tent, two backpacks and a virtually empty bank account, they set off on the thousand-kilometre trek along England’s rugged south coast.
The Salt Path was directed by theatre director Marianne Elliott (winner of four Tony Awards), who ventures into a feature film for the first time. This inspiring, true story is about dealing with grief, the healing power of nature and rediscovering the true meaning of life when you have lost all your material possessions.
The screening on Sunday 1 May at 13.30 can be booked as part of our Community Table initiative.
