180 South will be shown Thursday March 17th at 11am for Extra Credit. Big waves, Big rocks, and one Big adventure describes this cross continental trip filmed in 2006. In an effort to promote attendance we will be diverging from the usual less glamorous subjects of Union plight, Deaf culture, and Women suffrage etc. to a more palatable subject: travel. Check out the description and amazing website:
Inspired by Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins' 1968 excursion into Patagonia, adventurer Jeff Johnson sets out to retrace the footsteps of his heroes' arduous trek as filmmaker Chris Malloy follows with camera in hand. But despite the thrill of surfing the biggest wave he's ever encountered, Johnson quickly discovers just how treacherous things can get when you decide to challenge Mother Nature's majesty; in addition to enduring some particularly rough waters just off the coast of Easter Island, he quickly discovers that conquering Cerro Corcovado is no simple task. Later, during a face-to-face meeting with Chouinard and Tompkins, Johnson learns how their lifelong quest to explore everything that nature has to offer eventually lead them on a drive to ensure that the places they visited over the years will be preserved for future generations of explorers to discover.
