‘Hull Freedom Trail’ screened at the VUE Cinema last night to critical acclaim. We had a fantastic response with over 200 friends, family and sponsors attending. Claudio von Planta and his team were in attendance. The audience were gripped for 90 minutes with reports of ‘awesome’, ‘moving’, ‘humbling’, ‘very funny and very real’ being shared with the film maker.

Hull’s current Lord Mayor Brenda Petch addressed the audience and spoke of her enthusiasm for the project and how she followed the trip from beginning to end. Later a reception was held were the book and photographic prints were available.

Today, our souvenir book ‘Hull Of A Drive’ has been launched. Consisting of over 250 full colour pages, the book is a fantastic photographic journal of our expedition and includes hundreds of stunning photographs by our photographers Mark Kensett and Justine McMillan.

A limited edition of 100 have been printed, so to grab your copy, please email info@hullfreedomtrail.com stating how many you require and your contact details.

One of the lead editors of Ewan McGregor’s and Charley Boormans latest epic motorcycle trip, Julia Frater, is all set to start work editing the Hull Freedom Trail’s documentary.

Initial funding has been secured to make a start on the editing of over 75 hours of footage shot during the trip. Julia comes with extensive experience of editing these sorts of films and is excited at getting started after viewing the footage.

Further funding will need to be sought for her to continue on the film until it’s conclusion and the HFT team along with Claudio von Planta are working hard to make this happen.

For those of you who can’t see this, as soon as my laptop is back from repair (having died due to rigours of African traveling) then I’ll make a more widely compatible version for you.
