180 Degrees SOUTH


So I don't know if I'm completely late on this train or not but the other days I found this movie that I totally connected with on many levels. The movie is 180 Degrees SOUTH and if you haven't heard of it or checked it out you should. If you love being outside you will understand this movie and it will connect with your soul. It did mine it didn't really open my eyes it just made me even more passionate about my succeeding at getting my major in Environmental Science. I really hope that my degree will actually have an affect on the world. I want and will strive to better protect this environment. This movie just kinda made me wanna go out and change the world now. Not just get a degree and then never use it for anything. I want to use my degree make the world a better place and in some way impact how things are handled involving the environment. Anyways off that soap box the movie is about Jeff Johnson this normal guy from California as he follows in the footsteps of his heros Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins who in 1968 took a journey to Patagonia. So likewise he sets out on a journey to Patagonia to find a sort of peace. One aspect of the movie is putting yourself where it shouldn't be. Almost like living on the edge, but in the movie its more like doing things that are on the edge like climbing a huge mountain. Or doing something that has never been done before. If you haven't seen the movie you should totally check it out. If you love nature just the smallest bit you will be captured by this movie. Here are some links that should help guide you.
