Leon McCarron: The Land Beyond

Leon McCarron: The Land Beyond

Date/Time: Thursday 7 March, 8pm-9pm

Venue: Al Ras 1, InterContinental, DFC

Language: Arabic, English

Session No: 121 

There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk, mostly alone, through the Middle East. That, in part, is exactly why Leon McCarron, Northern Irish adventurer and filmmaker, did it.

McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world. He

found connection rather than division, hope instead of hatred and, ultimately, a shared humanity that borders and politics will never diminish.
