Gillian Anderson Finds Strength When She Loses Everything in Toronto Drama ’The Salt Path’


Gillian Anderson finds quiet strength and resilience when she loses everything in ‘The Salt Path’.

In recent years, Gillian Anderson has taken on a number of roles portraying real-life high-profile women: first lady Eleanor Roosevelt, former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, German princess consort Johanna Elisabeth and BBC journalist Emily Maitlis, to name a few. “The Salt Path,” which screens at the Toronto International Film Festival, is the profound story of husband and wife Ray (Anderson) and Moth Winn’s (Jason Isaacs) 630-mile walk along a beautiful but rugged coastline in southwest England after they are forced out of their family farm. To makes matters worse, earlier the same week, Moth was diagnosed with a degenerative condition that would lead to difficulty walking and balancing, dementia, inability to swallow and, eventually, death.
