The Salt Path starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs has released a first trailer ahead of its cinema release.
Premiered at Toronto International Film Festival earlier in the year, the film from first-time director Marianne Elliott adapts the real-life story of Raynor Winn and her husband Moth.
The couple set out on the South West Coast Path — the longest uninterrupted path in England — after a business deal gone wrong left them homeless.

Raynor then chronicled their journey as well as Moth's corticobasal degeneration diagnosis in a book that was intended as a birthday present for her husband, but became a hit when it was published in 2018.
In the trailer, Raynor (Anderson) and Moth (Isaacs) embark on their journey and can be seen struggling with the elements and experiencing financial hardships. Their ordeal continues when Moth receives his diagnosis and is informed that there's currently no cure for his degenerative brain condition.
