Stars of 'The Salt Path' Hope Film Will Raise Awareness of Homelessness

The Salt Path Film Aims to Shed Light on Homelessness: Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs Speak Out London, England – May 25, 2025 – The film adaptation of Ray and Moth Winn's moving memoir, The Salt Path, is generating buzz, not just for its compelling story but also for its focus on the often-overlooked issue of homelessness. Stars Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs recently sat down with Sky News' Bethany Minelle to discuss the film and their hopes for its impact. The Salt Path follows the real-life journey of a middle-aged couple who, facing adversity, embark on a 630-mile walk along the Cornish, Devon, and Dorset coastlines. Isaacs shared his conversation with the Winns, stating, "I asked Ray and Moth what they hoped people would get from the film. They're so humble, they don't want attention, but Ray said he hoped it would make people look at homeless people in a different light, give them a second look and maybe talk to them." Anderson emphasized the film's potential to change perceptions, noting the increasing prevalence of homelessness in the UK and beyond. She stated, "It's interesting because I feel like it's even changed in the UK in the last little while, whereas you didn't see it so much in the UK, but it's becoming more and more prevalent since Covid." The film's focus on the human element of homelessness, coupled with the actors' passionate advocacy, underscores the importance of raising awareness and promoting empathy. The film's release promises to be a significant moment, not only for cinema but also for societal awareness and understanding of homelessness.
