After the success of their recent Suicide Prevention Event, NHS Orkney and OIC are proud to bring this poignant film to Orkney – tickets are FREE but should be booked in advance to secure your seat. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Sophie Marsh, the film's producer, and John Gibson, Founder of the Canmore Trust.

After the suicide of her best friend at university, a guilt-ridden and heart-broken young woman hikes Scotland’s West Highland Way to find salvation. Unprepared and overwhelmed, Ellie embarks on a journey from the streets of Glasgow to the breath-taking scenery of the Scottish Highlands. As Ellie heals, she finds the courage to speak out against the everyday prejudices she encounters, and about her deeply personal struggles with self-harm. The end of her pilgrimage takes her to her lost friend's family home on the Isle of Skye. There, in the arms of his mother, her grief is transformed. She returns home released from her past and able to speak publicly about her trauma. Her brave public exposé of the mental health crisis facing young people sparks positive change, and her new life begins.

Each screening of THE LOW ROAD will start at the advertised time, with doors opening 30 mins prior to this. A Q&A and discussion will follow both screenings of the film.
