The Hermit Of Treig

BBC4, 9pm

Ken Smith (above) has spent the past 40 years living off the land in a log cabin in the Scottish Highlands with no electricity or running water. Filmed over ten years, director Lizzie Mackenzie’s film finds the hermit reflecting on his way of life and his relationship with nature. But, as his health and memory decline in his 70s, it also asks if he can really end his days in the wilderness. ★★★★
