The Salt Path Scandal

On its release in 2018, The Salt Path became an overnight sensation. Raynor Winn’s bestselling memoir of financial ruin, terminal illness, and healing through nature became a national obsession, capturing the public imagination and sparking book tours, literary prizes and a runaway hit film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. But the story was not all that it seemed as Observer journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou discovered when she received an anonymous tip off. Reading The Salt Path with the critical eye of a journalist a new story began to emerge, pieced together through paper trails, interviews and testimony from those who knew the Winns before their walk began. 

Sky commissioned a one-off feature documentary from multi award-winning Candour Productions, The Salt Path Scandal, to dig deeper into the truth of this uniquely British page-turner and Sky Post Production were tasked with providing Full Post for this most intriguing of stories. Here, we detail the hard work and dedication that it took across the board to bring this production to your screen.
