An Australian documentary which premiered in 2022 and is an account by it's director/editor Matty Hanson (who looks a bit like Prince Harry) of his epic journey from the northern coast of Alaska down the west coast of the Americas all the way to Patagonia on the southern tip of the continent. An uneven but fast paced eco themed documentary which was originally planned by Hannon as an attempt to escape from his soul destroying life in Melbourne into nature, with an excuse to indulge in a lot of surfing on his journey down south. But it turns into much more than that, as he communes with nature, and starts a love affair with a Canadian eco farmer (and surfer) called Heather Hillier he meets en route. Written by Hannon with Mike Balson, and co-photographed and co-narrated by Hannon with Hillier, this documentary is often good to look at, and not short of incident, with Hannon having his motorbike stolen at one point, trading motorbikes for horses, meeting Zapatistas in Mexico, Mapuches in Chile, and taking detours into the Andes and the Amazon. And all the time we have this animist environmental movement philosophy of freedom through (and oneness with) nature, and the defence of a 'nature based culture'.
