Newport Beach Film Festival 2010

A look at the life of Yvon Chouinard, one of the most unique and prolific environmentalists of our time. Inspired by the rumor of a legendary trip in 1968� and the proof that came with it when the lost cans of film that documented the trip were recently discovered. The old footage captures Chouinard and best friend Doug Tompkins in 1968 as they explore untouched mountain ranges and un-surfed beaches along 5,000 miles of coastline from California to deep Patagonia. For the two men, the original '68 adventure still stands as "the trip of our lives."
