An outsider to the unique world of the AT thru-hiker, Olivia is quickly befriended by hikers Rollin (Scott Speiser) and Slackpack (Christopehr McCutchen). As the three hikers jouney from South to Maine, Olivia is drawn to the charismatic but private Rolin, and is forced to question her motives for hiking the trail.
Shot in the summer and fall, SOUTHBOUNDERS captures the unique American beauty of the Appalachian Trail. See this amazing world, and the hikers that live in it, in a film that Film Threat delcares "feels more natural than most Hollywood films and has a subtle realistic charm."
