After the success of last year’s 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. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with Stephen Mulhearn, the film's writer and director. 

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 she embarks on a journey from the streets of Glasgow to the breath-taking scenery of the Scottish Highlands. As our heroine heals, she finds the courage to speak out against the everyday misogyny 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 where, in the arms of his mother, her grief is transformed. Returning home released from her past she's able to speak publicly about her trauma. Her brave public exposé of the mental health crisis facing young people sparks positive change and the beginning of her new life.

This screening of THE LOW ROAD will start at the advertised time, with doors opening at 1830. The Q&A discussion will follow the screening.
