Director: Owen Knight
From The Wilderness is a documentary exploration of people who have chosen to live far from conventional society. The film looks at the practical and emotional consequences of leaving mainstream life behind, focusing on isolation, independence and the attraction of remote landscapes.
Its observational approach contrasts wilderness environments with the routines and values of modern life. Rather than presenting one simple explanation for why people withdraw from society, the documentary considers several perspectives and the different meanings that solitude can have.
From The Wilderness has limited widely documented streaming availability, so current listings should be checked by territory.
