500 Days in the Wild (Filmmaker in Attendance) World Trails Film Festival

Watch this epic film and participate in a Q&A with Dianne Whelan
Join us for a special evening with filmmaker Dianne Whelan. The World Trails Film Festival is proud to present 500 Days in the Wild, a beautiful and epic film of a journey across the longest trail in the world, the Trans Canada Trail.

The 24,000 km Trans Canada Trail stretches across the continent of North America, connecting the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific oceans. It is the longest trail in the world. For six years filmmaker Dianne Whelan traveled the entirety of the land and water trails, the only person to ever accomplish this journey. From pushing 150 pounds of bike and a heavy backpack over rocks to hiking through flooded bogs, paddling one of the largest lakes in the world, snowshoeing through dense forest, skiing and biking along pristine trails in all seasons, 500 Days in the Wild weaves Dianne’s adventures with her cross-cultural visits with those who live close to the land.
