Join us for the 2023 film based on a 2012 book by the author Rachel Joyce.

This is a story of quiet heroism and of rediscovery. The otherwise ordinary Harold Fry captivates a nation when he leaves behind routine and regret and sets out on a 450-mile walk of hope to reach his dying friend. His journey is a celebration of life that helps us to realize that failure and loss -- just as much as success and joy -- can shape us for good. This earnest portrayal of universal love is led by Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent and brought to life by Director Hettie Macdonald (NORMAL PEOPLE) against the outstanding beauty of the English countryside. Not rated. 2023
