The Road to Patagonia is a stunning, intimate, and unflinching documentary series of love letters – firstly, a love between two people, and secondly between humanity and the Earth.
Ecologist Matty Hannon embarks on an incredible solo adventure, aiming to surf the west coast of the Americas by motorbike, from the top of Alaska to the tip of Patagonia. However, deep in the wilderness, alone with the wolves and the bears, the journeyer’s plans unexpectedly fall to pieces. After losing everything and on the cusp of quitting, he meets the girl of his dreams, a permaculture farmer named Heather. Shot over 16 years, the result is an adventurous exposé on the more-than-human world, offering a physical and spiritual odyssey to better understand our place in Nature.
The Road to Patagonia will play at the Raglan Arts Centre on July 6th (sold out), July 20th, and August 3rd – tickets are on sale now.
