Beauty Beneath the Dirt
An Appalachian Trail thru-hike takes ambitious hikers on a 2,178.3-mile adventure from Georgia to Maine, trekking through some of America's most pristine state and national parks. Though many people have attempted this challenge over the years, only a small fraction actually complete the journey. Nevertheless, "The Traveling Circus," led by 24-yr-old lawyer, Katherine Imp, attempted the Appalachian Trail thru-hike from March to August 2010. Kate was joined by her brother Brandon, a 21-yr-old Ivy grad fresh out of college, and her best friend Emily, a 23-yr-old "city chick" born and raised on Chicago's South Side.
By capturing the highs and lows of trail life, this honest, touching, and very personal story paints a raw and uncensored picture of how long-distance hiking can affect the mind, body, and soul. Leaving its audience both satisfied and hungry for more, BEAUTY BENEATH THE DIRT is a one-of-a-kind documentary that cannot be missed.

Q&A
| Question: |
Minimum age is 13. Not kid friendly. Any reason a 14 year old shouldn't see this? |
| Answer: |
The minimum age is 13 due to language, particularly the F-word. It's never directed at another person, but it is used very obviously. |
