When Ffyona Campbell set out on the last lea of her round-the-world walk last April, she must have thought the final trek across Europe would be straightforward. But with Janet Street-Porter asking awkward questions, it proved to be a long road home. This film relives the tantrums and tears on a very personal journey. And the qualities that made a national heroine are starkly - and controversially - revealed. See today's choices.
