In the beautiful wilderness of New Zealand a daredevil bunch of kids in the 60's experimented with something that would change the world of adventure travel. This is their global quest for adrenalin in 45 years of stunning original footage. Thrilling, gut rushing. Sent tingles up my spine. <br/><br/>The jaw-dropping cinematography and fantastic sound and music composition brought the beautiful and rare archive footage to life in a way which is seldom experienced in cinema. <br/><br/>Clive Neeson's lifetime creation really comes from the heart. With a unique angle it reveals to us how we used to be and what's in our future. It needs to be appreciated that the whole film was produced, directed, written, filmed and beautifully narrated by one person over 45 years. <br/><br/>As well as a gripping story, it's a rare and timeless piece of high quality art. Recently in Broome we saw this fabulous movie again on the big screen. Each time I watch it I get more out of it. The first time I was blown away by the story itself, the awesome cinematography and the message that struck me most was about getting our kids out of cotton wool and out there – into the waves, snow, treetops, mud, whatever. <br/><br/>Seeing it again what struck me was what the characters had noticed about the Balinese, Mexican and Spanish people they met during the 70s and the true meaning of wealth they found in a simple life. <br/><br/>There's a huge amount in this move – it's a visual feast, funny, exciting and a fascinating slice of world history: Very thought–provoking and inspiring.
