What is The Road to Patagonia about? 

This striking documentary follows Matty Hannon as he embarks on a daring solo adventure to surf the exhilarating waters of Patagonia. Coming from the top of Alaska all the way down to Patagonia, he seeks to experience the thrill of solo exploration in his motorbike. 

Sucked into the formidable allure of the wilderness, surrounded by beauty and danger, the journeyer's plans unexpectedly fall to bits. But just when he's about to give up, he meets a permaculture farmer named Heather Hillier, the girl of his dreams who also decides to join him in his grand adventure.

As they cross paths, they share deeply human moments while falling in love with nature, creating a wonderful story in the process. 

Road to Patagonia is an adventurous exposé delving into the more-than-human world, offering a poignant message in the form of Matty's experiences with humanity and nature shot over 16 years.

With Heather playing a crucial role in his journey, discovering love along the way and accompanied by their charismatic horses, this documentary is basically a series of love letters that tell two kinds of love stories: a love between two strangers and the love between people and the ground they step on.
