Summary: This gorgeous, historic, and inspiring new film from director & surfer Chris Malloy and his collective at Woodshed Films, documents the adventures of surfer and climber Jeff Johnson as he retraces the epic 1968 journey of his heroes Yvon Chouinard (rock climbing legend and founder of Ventura-based Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins, on which theyThis gorgeous, historic, and inspiring new film from director & surfer Chris Malloy and his collective at Woodshed Films, documents the adventures of surfer and climber Jeff Johnson as he retraces the epic 1968 journey of his heroes Yvon Chouinard (rock climbing legend and founder of Ventura-based Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins, on which they drove, mountain climbed and surfed their way to Chilean Patagonia. Along the way, Jeff encounters big surf, snowy mountains, a dangerous ocean crossing, pulp mills, cowboys, dams and more on his way to climb Cerro Corcovado in Patagonia. Jeff's life takes a turn when he meets up in a rainy hut with Chouinard and Tompkins who, once driven purely by a love of climbing and surfing, now value above all the experience of raw nature and have come to Patagonia to help use their influence to help protect it. The film is a road trip movie, a historic document, and an environmental call to arms, but mostly a meditation on what matters most in life –staying true to one's own vision and values.

Cinematography is lovely and professional, a pleasant change from most "adventure" flicks, and soundtrack is domineering but also pleasant. Everything about it is extremely slow: music, camera, people, all movingThis film is either heavy and ponderous, or reverential, I'm not sure which. Cinematography is lovely and professional, a pleasant change from most "adventure" flicks, and soundtrack is domineering but also pleasant. Everything about it is extremely slow: music, camera, people, all moving slow. The subject is the same but the style is the exact opposite of adventure films. I'm not sure what it is.… Expand
