The poet John Clare's escape from Epping Forest; an epic march through hunger and madness, is an English journey to set beside "A Pilgrim's Progress". Toby Jones, lain Sinclair and a Straw Bear follow in his footsteps exactly 150 years after his death. En route they bump into Macgillivray, Dr. Simon Kovesi and the wizard Alan Moore, their progress narrated by Toby's father Freddie, a maverick actor who featured in numerous David Lynch films. Captured in lustrous black and white photography, they discover the only truth of the road; whatever our hopes and delusions, we are always 'By Our Selves'.
