From time to time, I get the chance to watch a movie that really moves me. A few days ago, a friend of mine recommended I watch the documentary 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless.
180° South follows Jeff Johnson as he retraces the path of his heroes, Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins, to Patagonia on their epic life journey in 1968. After being shipwrecked off Easter Island, he has the chance to surf the longest wave of his life and begins to prepare himself for the ascent of Cerro Corcovado. He also gets the chance to meet up with Chouinard and Tompkins along the way, who have come to Patagonia to spend their fortunes protecting its beauty.
This is an incredible documentary with an amazing story in some of the most beautiful places on earth. I definitely recommend watching it.
