Home, An Outward Journey Inward

Hebden Bridge Film Festival is hosting a special screening of the documentary Home, An Outward Journey Inward, on Saturday 23 November at Hebden Bridge Picture House.

The event includes a live Q&A with Sarah Outen, an adventurer, bestselling author and motivational speaker. Between 2011 and 2015, Sarah travelled the world by bike, kayak and rowing boat, covering over 20,000 miles. This documentary captures her fascinating journey.

Winner of the prestigious Banff Exploration & Adventure award, Home is directed by filmmaker Jen Randall (Psycho Vertical) using footage filmed by Sarah as she completed the London2London: Via The World expedition.

Louise Wadley, Hebden Bridge Film, Festival director told the HebWeb, “Home follows Sarah’s epic journey and tells her inspirational story of struggle and triumph. This is a perfect showcase for what Hebden Bridge Film Festival is all about, daring to be different!”

This screening is presented by Hebden Bridge Film Festival and advance sale film passes for the 2020 festival (providing access to all screenings and events) will be available at the event before going on wider release at Film Festival website and Calderdale tourist information centres.
