The Low Road - film screening

Join us in the newly refurbished Stephen Riady Lecture Theatre as we present the Scottish-based film The Low Road, written and directed by ENU Screen Academy alumni Stephen Mulhearn and produced by Sophie Marsh from "Seeing the Magic".

The film is promoted as a “transformational journey of hope” and tells the story of a young woman consumed by guilt and grief following the tragic loss of her best friend to suicide. This powerful, emotive story follows Ellie who is also trapped by her secret of self-harm on her quest into the wilderness of The West Highland Way to find answers and give herself space to think. Along the way she's forced to stand up to the misogyny that has scarred her, whilst fighting the demons of her own mind. Along the walking route she finds her voice and the courage to share the secrets of her past with others and starts to heal giving us hope that there is support out there.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion, giving the opportunity for a structured conversation to share deeper insights into the themes of the film. A drinks reception and refreshments will follow the panel discussion.
