You can really feel the joy that Sara experiences in nature, which alongside her story, makes it all the more impactful. We really must all look after our hearts.Frit Tam
Dear Heart follows a creatively ageing adventurers', day in my life in the Lake District. A story of resilience, trust and hope, in spite of a dodgy heart and knackered knees. This film aims to inspire others to create their own bespoke adventures that bring maximum joy and minimum damage. Filmed in one day in April 2025 after meeting filmmaker Emily Barnard at Kendal Mountain Festival “Dear Heart” is an intimate glimpse into the mind of an ordinary 63-year-old woman who knows that being outdoors every day whatever the weather is the cure for succumbing to life’s ‘stop cards’.
