Documentary following Ellie on a trek with the Wilderness Foundation in the Lake District.

Documentary following 15-year-old Ellie, who has anxiety and depression, as she goes on a trek in the Lake District with other young people facing similar issues.

An increasing number of teenage girls are experiencing anxiety and in this insightful documentary we meet 15-year-old Ellie, determined to overcome her own anxiety and depression. This film follows her on a trek with the Wilderness Foundation in the Lake District with three other young people facing similar issues. Ellie learns a new resilience by mountain walking, camping and even abseiling - but will it be enough to give her the mental strength to take her GCSEs? Michael is 14 and he too has anxiety. His condition is causing him to become increasingly withdrawn, so he hopes the trek will give him the confidence to face his fears and play the drums in front of an audience for the very first time. This ultimately uplifting film illustrates that with the right help, teenagers can learn the skills they need to control their mental health.
