About this event
A strand of documentaries about overcoming adversity and getting the most out of what life has to offer despite circumstances Peripheral Dir. Peter Naylor 36.21 Peripheral follows Lucy as she navigates a pivotal stage in her life, balancing the gradual loss of her sight with her love for the outdoors. Through adventure and exploration, the film traces her journey of self-discovery, testing her capabilities and connection to the natural world. Nothing’s Impossible Dir. Jacob Thomas McClean 44.49 Through the voices of his family, this intimate film tells the story of Ashley Wilson, an epileptic cancer survivor whose life challenged limitation. Rowing 3600 miles of ocean was only a moment in time; this is the story before, a tale of resilience, identity, and living beyond what will ever seem possible. Runtime: 81 minutes Rating: (TBC) Forward Festival
