The Pennine Way

Fredi is not your typical 54 year old South Asian hiker. She's a football coach, gas engineer and plumber, and with very little hiking experience, takes on the 268 mile Pennine Way for her 55th birthday. Sharing almost all of the 24 days that she was on the trail with old friends that she's known for several decades (not least because they could read a map) Fredi shows the unfiltered joy of hiking this historic trail until her adventure is abruptly halted by a family tragedy, one day before her 55th birthday. This film is a lens into the experience of someone from the city who has never seen these rugged and beautiful parts of England, and how grief becomes a part of that experience.
