March 2021: Man with a Pram
You should watch this film!
In my opinion, the premise doesn't sound great; it's about a Swedish man, Mikael Strandberg. Strandberg is walking from Moss Side in Manchester to Buckingham Palace in London; pushing his two year old daughter along the entire journey as he cannot afford childcare.
Unlike Mikael's previous expedition (650km through Siberia's frozen frontier), this one is rejected by The Explorer's Club as it's deemed 'without scientific return or novelty'.
At times this film is heart-warming, heart-breaking and embarrasing (almost in equal measure). But trust us, watch the trailer then watch the film. The trailer is below and you rent the film here for £3.50, trust us, it's worth it.
