The documentary film made last winter following Duluth hiker Emily Ford and her sled dog, Diggins, on their nearly 1,200-mile trek along Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail will be featured at the Banff International Film Festival set for Oct. 30 to Nov. 7.
“Breaking Trail," produced by Minneapolis-based Credo Nonfiction, portrays the journey of the duo as they hiked 69 days across Wisconsin (as chronicled each week of their adventure in the News Tribune) in both cold and warm conditions, but also in some very snowy conditions.
The movie will be available both in the festival’s online format, under “Peaks and Valleys’’ in mixed films as well as at the live event under “Mixed Films’’ showing at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 7. For more information, go to banffcentre.ca/film-fest .
