Our Emmy-nominated documentary, TRAIL MAGIC: THE GRANDMA GATEWOOD STORY, is now available! Watch the inspiring story of this historic hiker which includes interviews with family, historians and hikers. Anne McEvoy stars as Emma Gatewood, first woman to solo thru-hike the 2,050 mile Appalachian Trail, in 1955 at the age of 67 -- but that was only the beginning of her walk into history! Grandma Gatewood inspires us to walk boldly into life and to ACT on our goals. She shows us that we should NOT be influenced by what other's tell us we cannot do. That we can "Go for it" and change the world. You can rent the film on Vimeo and watch at your leisure! You can also find TRAIL MAGIC at many libraries and stores. GRANDMA
