Echoes

"Climbing was tough at times but never as tough as working in a prison block". Nick Bullock discusses escaping his life as a prison officer in a high security jail, for life as a professional mountaineer. A thought-provoking reflection on freedom and risk filmed at the Outside Cafe by Peak District based film-makers 'Polished Project' during the launch of Nick's acclaimed book 'Echoes'

(Note - Nick will be opening the 2013 ShAFF with a talk at 19.15 Friday 1 March.
