Synopsis

A pair of urbanites embark on a 4000-mile bicycle ride in search of the last wild place in America; to their dismay they find it. Set in the wake of America’s great western expansion, the series presents a portrait of bike touring and a meditation on wilderness. The epic journey begins on the Mexican border and spans the continent, touching three oceans before concluding in the Arctic. Along with breathtaking scenery, the film captures the conflict between the ideal of the wild, and the actualities of disappearing wilderness at the beginning of the 21st century.
