AUBURN, CA (MPG) - Award-winning director and cinematographer Dianne Whelan is the only person to complete this epic journey of discovery—hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing and skiing the entire length of the Trans Canada trail, across land and water trails from sea to sea. If you saw her film "40 Days at Base Camp" we screened in January, you won’t want to miss seeing this documentary sponsored by Jane Hamilton.

For a woman in her 50s who is not an extreme athlete, her adventure was sometimes grueling,

occasionally harrowing, often exhilarating and always surprising. She started out alone,

disillusioned with the state of the world and worried about climate change, to look for different

ways of caring for the land and each other. She ended the journey a bit wiser, more hopeful, in

love and with a passion to share this story.
