Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs star in Tony Award-winning theatre director Marianne Elliott’s exhilarating film adaptation of Raynor Winn’s prize-winning memoir.
In search of solace after a combination of crises in their lives, Raynor (Armstrong) and Moth (Isaacs) Winn decide to walk the South West Coast Path, a breathtaking 630-mile trek along the region’s famously rugged coastline, stretching from Minehead in Somerset around north Devon, Cornwall and south Devon to Poole in Dorset. Though emotionally and physically challenging, the journey also proves liberating, giving Raynor and Moth a renewed vitality and a deeper connection to both the natural world and each other.
Featuring understated performances from Anderson and Isaacs, gorgeous cinematography and immersive sound design, The Salt Path is an affecting portrait of mid-life loss and rebirth.
I'm so looking forward to people seeing the film adaptation of our story. The SWCP is more than just a path, it's a transformative landscape, both challenging and healing, and available to all of us. I'm incredibly proud to be an ambassador for the charity, helping raise awareness of the support needed for the Path to remain open and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
