World Premiere

Physical endurance meets the resilience of the human spirit. Sally Orange MBE is taking her mental health message to the highest marathon in the world. Having faced the uphill battle of cancer recovery, Sally shares the essential tools and wisdom she used to find strength in the wild. Alongside a community of survivors and experts, she shows us that no matter how steep the challenge, nature provides a way up. Find your strength. Find your summit.

This inspirational documentary transforms Sally's physical journey into a metaphor for everyone's personal Everest - their own health challenges.

We are delighted to welcome director Tom McShane and Sally Orange herself and others featured in this wonderful film to this special screening and a Q&A afterwards (subject to availability).

Preceded by the short film Summit's Up for Tony (Anna Marchand, UK, 2025, 14 mins)
