Follow ecologist Matty Hannon on an incredible solo adventure as he leaves his life in the city
behind for the great outdoors. Surfing his way along the west coast of the Americas, his
ambitious voyage takes him from the Alaskan wilderness to the tip of Patagonia. But just as the
dangers and isolation of such a trip take their toll, he meets the girl of his dreams, a
permaculture farmer, Heather Hillier, who throws caution to the wind and joins Matty on his
50,000km odyssey.

Riding south on motorbike and horseback, worlds collide as the duo encounter Zapatista rebels,
Amazonian shamans and Mapuche leaders whose salient words crack the adventurers’ cultural
veneer, leaving them with many existential questions. Shot over 16 years, the result is a
beautiful documentation of the untouched natural world that few get to experience, offering a
thrilling new perspective on our place within it.
