Award-winning adventure filmmaker Jen Randall expertly edits and sensitively refines Sarah’s reams of raw footage to reveal the kind heart and soul of this epic story. Transcending the physical journey, this empowering documentary explores the meaning of home and celebrates one woman’s trek towards true emotional acceptance.
