PLEASE NOTE: While it may say "0 spots left", the event is still open for RSVP via CIDFilms website. Please see the note in the end of the event description.

180° SOUTH is a movie inspired by two of the most unique and prolific environmentalists of our time - Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins. These two men were the founders of the companies North Face and Patagonia. The movie's subject Jeff Johnson weaves Chouinard's and Tompkins's tale through his own modern day expedition. This expedition was inspired by the legendary trip taken by Chouinard and Tompkins back in 1968 that changed these two men's lives and inspired their life's work leading to saving the land trust of Patagonia . Along the way Jeff gets to meet and share time with his long time heroes and his mentors for this trip. The movie teaches and displays the transition that one can make from pure innocence and love for wild adventure to deep wisdom and connectedness to the wild world from which we are all deeply rooted. It is an important film and message for anyone who loves and respects the natural world and cares to protect and preserve it.

Here's a trailer to the movie:
