A Walk in the Woods

Bill Bryson's return to the United States from England sparks an intriguing journey as he seeks a deep connection with his native soil. Rather than simply visiting familiar places, he chooses an adventurous and immersive approach – hiking the Appalachian Trail alongside one of his oldest friends. This decision not only allows him to rediscover the American landscape but also affords valuable time to forge deeper bonds with a friend he has known for many years. The film follows their fascinating trek along the trail, as they encounter various challenges and revel in the beauty of the natural world around them. Through this unconventional exploration, the protagonist aims to understand not just his homeland but also himself in the context of his roots.
