180 Degrees South: Conquerors of the Useless
A movie about lifestyle and perspective, 180 Degrees takes a look at a small group of people experiencing different types of adventures stemming from the desire to achieve the second ascent of a little known South American peak. The trip to South America via sailboat, inspired by the well known adventurers and businessmen Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins portrays the group in a modern day light while drawing comparisons to the early days of mountain exploration. The story shows the fulfillment derived from the journey and experiences along the way and not so much the end destination. A good amount of footage from Chouinard and Tompkin's original 1968 van powered voyage to Patagonia sets the stage for the level of adventure and fun the modern group is looking to experience. An entertaining movie with good humor and beautiful scenery from numerous destinations across the Americas, 180 Degrees is a great film for adventurous individuals seeking something more or different from life.
Available on Netflix
