Join us on Wednesday, November 19th at 8pm in Nyack, NY for a powerful evening of film, reflection, and conversation. Use the code Sassquad to score discounted tickets!

 

The Long Path: A Journey of Becoming is a 40-minute documentary following New Jersey runner and Sassquad Trail Running race director Kim Levinsky on her attempt to set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Long Path. The Long Path is a hidden gem of New York’s trail system that runs from the George Washington Bridge to the upstate New York Wilderness. 

What begins as a physical challenge becomes a raw and revealing journey into mental health, as Kim shares her experience with therapy, vulnerability, and ultimately, advocacy.

​

After the film there will be a discussion with the filmmaker, Shai Ben-Dor; the subject of the film, Kim Levinsky, trail party director at Sassquad Trail Running; and Devin Solar, a certified hiking guide and mental health counselor with Embrace Psychotherapy in Nyack.
