Long Road North

Leaving behind his office with no windows, Gwendal Castellan dreams up an adventure to travel halfway across the planet at a human pace and experience the story of the road. Seen from the handlebars of a bicycle, the world is a lot smaller than he ever thought. This epic journey begins at the most southern tip of Argentina, taking us on a modern day “Motorcycles Diaries” through eighteen countries, along the longest road in the world. From the mountains of Patagonia, through Latin American mega-cities and small-town America, to the sparse reaches of the Canadian arctic we get a glimpse of what it would be like to drop everything and hit the open road. Screening Monday, June 15 at 7pm, Park Lane Cinemas, CBC Radio Room, 1599 South Park, $8.
