500 Miles is a poetic, life-affirming road movie and celebration of the human spirit adapted by Mark Lowery’s acclaimed book Charlie and Me: 421 Miles from Home which follows a broken family who are forced to come together when two young brothers run away from home.
While their fighting parents tear their hair out with worry, runaways Finn and his live-wire younger brother Charlie embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry, and their estranged, beloved Grandfather, who their parents haven’t spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.
As part of our work to make Gala Durham as accessible as possible for all, audio description headsets will be offered on every film screening for those who are visually impaired.
