Unable to reach her mother and afraid that the authorities will return her to her uncle, she embarks on a journey across miles of wilderness to find a way back home to Seattle. As she plunges deeper into the Alaskan interior, a chance connection with gruff backpacker Bartlett (Bruce Greenwood) proves to be her only lifeline. Mackenzie shadows Bartlett across the rugged frontier, thwarting his efforts to cut her loose until he has no choice but to help her survive, and against the backdrop of a spectacular landscape, they discover the redemptive power of friendship.
Wildlike is set for release on September 25th in the States and features a cast that includes Brian Geraghty, Ann Dowd, Joshua Leonard, Ann Dowd, Nolan Gerard Funk and Diane Farr.

I saw this film at a festival, and thought it was really good. I don’t write reviews, but I would say, the beautiful Alaska backdrop is as compelling as the characters. Go see it!
