Be The Change Film Series is excited to start Season 17 on Wednesday October 16^th at 7pm at the Simcoe Street Theatre in Collingwood with the screening of 500 Days in the Wild. Canadian award-winning director and cinematographer, Dianne Whelan, made this film about her epic journey across Canada on the Trans-Canada trail. For a woman in her 50s who is not an extreme athlete, it was sometimes gruelling, 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.
