“No One Walks The Trail Alone.” Lama Ent. has revealed the official trailer for an indie drama called The Keeper, opening in theaters this Memorial Day weekend in May. Based on a true story. Heavily impacted by his fellow veteran’s suicides, George Eshleman, an Army Veteran, decides to raise awareness for military member suicides by hiking the entire nearly 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia. On the trek, he carries 363 name tapes from the uniforms of military who committed suicide, given to him by their families. Along the way he is given the trail name of “The Keeper” (of the names) and finds support and comfort from fellow hikers, civilians, and military Veterans alike, in the “Hiker Universe.” This adventurous subculture forms a network of hikers that revel in their common purpose and an unspoken meaning of life that drives them down the trail and over the next peak. Starring director Angus Benfield as George, with Haley Babula, Michael Maclane, Nicolas Asad, Andrew Ferguson, Kameron Whitaker, & Lance Bonza. This looks a bit rough around the edges, but it’s a very important and uplifting story to tell anyway. // Continue Reading ›
