Product Description
"Walking With Freedom" covers the ups and downs as well as the hardships and joys of Michael Daniel's 2,173-mile hike along the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine over a six-month period. The documentary introduces viewers to the eclectic, hiking subculture as well as highlighting some of the backpackers who take the extensive walk. "This film isn't just for hikers or backpackers; It's for anyone that loves freedom and the outdoors," Daniel says. From encounters with the wildlife (including some wild hikers) that roam the Appalachians to the wild flowers and the beauty of its highest peaks on the East Coast, this film is an emotional, scenic journey that will move any viewer. Scripted to an amazing soundtrack of original music - some tracks created specifically for the project �� viewers are immersed in the experience of virtually hiking the most famous trail in the world.Walking With Freedom Review
I'm an AT thru-hiker, having completed the same journey "Lion King" did, although I hiked in 2005.Before my hike, I purchased both "2000 Miles to Maine" and "Trek". While I enjoyed both of those films, I have to say that Walking with Freedom gets a higher ranking than both of them in my opinion. As much as I enjoy "Trek", it tells the story of a group of hikers who stuck together for almost the entire hike and also hiked in an unusually fast time, both of which are rare as far as AT hikes go. 2000 Miles to Maine, although its heart is in the right place, skips HUGE sections of the trail, and I thought, generally lacked continuity.
I first saw Walking with Freedom while I was on the trail, and I immediately took a liking to it because it was what I was hoping for from the other two films. Lion King's hike was very similar to not only mine, but to a large majority of AT thru-hikes. The movie has a "flow" to it, with some of the major "attractions" of the AT as bricks and a some great hiking footage set to an amazing soundtrack as the mortar.
One thing I particularly enjoyed about this film was the way it portrayed the "ups and downs" of thru-hiking. Some people have complained about the "partying" scenes in the film. But an AT documentary without a few scenes of the classic hiker parties would definitely be largely incomplete. Regardless, these scenes are tame enough that most teens wouldn't even blink twice.
The best way I can describe the power of this film is to describe its showing at "Trail Days", the annual Appalachian Trail festival in Damascus, VA. Before the film began, more hikers and hiking enthusiasts had packed the auditorium than I've ever seen before. Hikers especially were not only in the prearranged chairs, but on the floor, knee to knee and shoulder to shoulder with each other providing an odor that was truly unforgettable. As the film progressed through the states, hikers would excitedly whisper to each other at several key points, and downright explode into laughter or applause at several points. Ultimately at the end of the film there was a standing ovation that lasted quite some time.
I had figured that my appreciation of this film would be lost on non-hikers, but much to my surprise my mother as well as her friends, most of which think nature and camping are "icky", also love this film. It's definitely worth owning.
