Wild

Wild follows the story of Cheryl Strayed, who at the age of 22 loses her mother to cancer; what follows is a series of destructive events such as the breakdown of her marriage and not being as close to her family. One day, some years later, Cheryl makes the impulsive decision to hike the Pacific Crest Trail - an 1,100 mile hike on the West Coast of America. With no prior experience of long-distance hiking, and just the determination and desire to escape all the things that had shattered her life, Cheryl sets out on the trail that sees her life truly change. Wild is a story about physical challenge and spiritual discoveries, all while walking one of America's most famous and beautiful hiking trails.
