Dianne Whelan is the first person to complete the 24,000 km Trans Canada Trail.
It took her six years to achieve this feat by bike, on foot or by canoe. And everything is impressive in this incredible 120-minute documentary.
What is striking, obviously, are the landscapes. No matter the season, Dianne Whelan takes the time to stop, film and comment on geese, bison, horses and more. Endowed with an undeniable sense of storytelling, the photographer, director and author also takes the opportunity to share her philosophy of life – especially with regard to the conservation of the planet and its resources – while filming the encounters she meets. on my way.
Presented at the Whistler Film Festival (FFF) where it received the Audience Award, 500 Days in the Wild is not just an ecological documentary. It is also – and above all? – an ode to perseverance, endurance and courage as she advances from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island.
The feat of 500 Days in the Wild and Dianne Whelan is also that of involving the viewer in his reflections. By looking at the magnificent images and listening to it, we become aware of our place on Earth, of this interconnectivity which links all living organisms, of our ecological responsibility, of our human responsibility, quite simply.
500 Days in the Wild lights up screens from March 1st.
