Diss Film Society at The Park Hotel is showing Into the Wild (15) on Monday at 8pm. Sean Penn's film tells the extraordinary but true story of Christopher McCandless, a bright young American graduate who horrified his parents by sending his $24,000 savings to Oxfam, abandoning his possessions and hiking off into the wilderness in search of a radical re-engagement with nature - in homage to his heroes, Thoreau, Tolstoy and Jack London.
