The Road to Patagonia
THE ROAD TO PATAGONIA is a breathtaking travel documentary - and an intense love film. First, we accompany Matty Hannon on his incredible surfari by motorbike along the west coast of America, from the tip of Alaska to the tip of Patagonia. But deep in the wilderness - alone with wolves and bears - the solo traveller's plans unexpectedly come to nothing. Having lost everything and on the verge of giving up, he meets the girl of his dreams: Heather runs a small farm in Northern California and soon throws everything overboard to continue travelling south with Matty.
Their 50,000 kilometre surfing odyssey is wonderfully complicated by their decision to switch from motorbikes to horses in South America, along with their surfboards. On their way to Patagonia, the pair discover lonely, perfect waves, experience the highs and lows of slow travelling and meet Zapatista rebels and Amazonian shamans along the way, whose striking words leave the adventurers with existential questions.
With this award-winning film, Matty and Heather succeed in capturing not only the breathtaking beauty of the endless coasts of North and South America, but also the deeply human moments of their expedition.
