The Walk of Life

In competition

Summary

After climbing the hardest route of his life, James Pearson discovers that the respect he’s been chasing for the past 15 years can only be found within. THE WALK OF LIFE is a powerful biographical documentary that delves into the often-unseen struggles of elite athletes, and the darker side of sport. Through candid reflections and insights from key figures in the British climbing scene, we witness James realizes and accepts his own mental health challenges, and begin his quest for inner peace.

Festival highlight

Life doesn’t necessarily follow the path of our goals. The pursuit of achievement can make us forget to listen to ourselves. Success is a deceptive mirror. James Pearson opens the doors to his existential reflections in this moving film.
