(sombre music)
(minibus rattling)

- [Matty] Oh, hey, that's me.

This is Pete. This
is Frankie the dog.

And we're all going
to the top of Alaska.

(minibus crashing)

- Oh man.

You okay, Pop?

Good girl. Good girl.

- Nothing smashed.
Nothing's broken.

- I don't know, man.
It looks pretty broken.

It looks pretty broken.

I'm happy we're alive.

(groovy music)

Luckily Pete, the guy
I was hitchhiking with,

was a mechanical engineer

and despite my trepidation,

he somehow got the
old van running again.

(mosquitoes buzzing)

(groovy music continues)

And everything was going sweet.

We were back on track,

until we broke down.

- You need to pop
that for it to work.

♪ Number one

(fire blazing)

- [Matty] Jesus.
Get that off, man.

You all right?

- Yeah. It still burning?
- Yeah. Big time.

Have you got
something to stop it?

Big time.

(tools clanking)

Jesus.

Good work. Good, good work.

- Fuck.

(fire extinguisher swooshing)

- [Matty] Heavy.

Looking back on it,

I can't believe I didn't
move the jerry can.

- Fuck.

- [Matty] But Pete
fixed the van again

and we kept on tracking.

(groovy music continues)

Maybe you're wondering why
I'd even get back in that van

or what I'm doing in
the middle of Alaska,

but my guess is that you want
to know who's talking to you.

So bear with me and
I'll try and explain.

(groovy music continues)

My name's Matty Hannon.

I grew up moving around a
lot, always living inland.

But for as long
as I can remember,

I dreamed of living
close to the ocean.

When I turned 18, I left
home down a great ocean road

to learn to surf and
enrol in university.

I majored in ecology, which
is the study of relationships

between living things
and their habitats.

After four years, the
research from my final paper

led me to the rare
section of the library

where I found a book called
"Shamans of Mentawai."

While I'd been studying
the theories of ecology,

it looked to me like
the people in this book

were living ecologically
in the rainforest.

One photo in particular
caught my attention,

a happy young boy eating a
roasted dragon fly as a treat.

I was fascinated
with how different

their lives were to mine.

Then once I learned that those
same islands were also home

to some of the most
perfect waves in the world,

I did everything I could
to land a job over there.

(waves crashing)

I moved to a little thatched hut

with no running water
or phones or internet,

and adopted five village
dogs, a black cat

and a gliding
squirrel called Coppy.

The only way to eat meat
was to catch it yourself.

And so I learned to spearfish.

(natives singing in
foreign language)

And when the
conditions were right,

I'd surf the wave
in front of my hut.

(natives singing in
foreign language)

- [Commenter] Yeah,
yeah. That's (indistinct)

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

- Woo.

(birds chirping)

It felt like I'd stumbled
across some kind of utopia.

I was lucky enough to
befriend a local family too,

the Salakirrats, who
lived a little bit deeper

into the rainforest,

especially Aman Lepon here,

who took me hunting, fishing,
building, and exploring

(birds chirping)

(natives speaking
in foreign language)

(fire crackling)
(birds chirping)

I wondered why the
church and government

had tried so hard to
outlaw their culture.

They were such nice people, so
generous and family oriented.

Aman Lepon taught
me that his culture

sees the world
around him as alive

and made up of different
beings or spirits,

and not just human beings,

but also tree beings
or river beings,

and that they all
rely on each other

to stay healthy and happy.

University had taught
me to be sceptical

of anything that
couldn't be measured,

especially things like
invisible spirits in the forest.

But after some time with
Aman Lepon and his family,

I began to wonder that if,

by concentrating on
hard data in my studies,

I'd forgotten about
intuition and feeling.

(suspenseful music)
(birds chirping)

(traditional native music)

(birds chirping)

(natives speaking
in foreign language)

It was only years
later that I found out

the young grinning boy

eating a dragon fly
in that library book

was actually Aman Lepon,

and that although we'd grown
up in alternate universes,

we were now (speaking in foreign
language) or good friends.

Those islands are a
world that feel so alive

where work is
varied and minimal,

biodiversity is rich,
time is plentiful,

fresh food is abundant,
and community is central.

I loved it so much that I ended
up staying for five years.

But at 26, it felt like
I was drifting away

from my friends
and family at home.

And so I flew back to Melbourne,
Australia, to reconnect.

(cars swooshing)

The culture shock was instant.

The coral reefs and lively
jungle was long gone.

And now I was in a world

where every aspect of
life had been commodified.

I got an office job sitting
static in front of a computer,

which made me money, but it
also left me physically weak,

understimulated and time poor.

It was a vibrant city

and there were some
amazing people around me.

But after my experience
in the islands,

I struggled to feel
a part of a community

that referred to its
people as consumers

and with national
success measured

by how many things
we bought or sold.

And soon, like so many of the
successful people around me,

I was clinically diagnosed
with anxiety and depression.

My shaman friends in Indonesia
didn't even have words

for depression or suicide
because it was so rare.

But in this world,

it's the number one
killer for my demographic.

After a couple of years
of feeling misplaced,

I needed a life
changing experience.

So late one night without
knowing anything about it,

I booked a one way
ticket to Alaska

♪ On my way to heaven

♪ Pothole in the sky

♪ Spell your destination

♪ He summoned me to try

♪ Falling for the devil

♪ This boy in his lies

♪ Devilment a level

♪ I know too well to be shy

With the money I'd
saved in the city,

I designed and commissioned
a motorcycle sidecar

that would fit my
surfboards, wetsuits

and camping equipment.

And so that's where I'm at.

I've tucked my boards into my
bike and the dream is to ride

and surf the west
coast of the Americas

from the very top of Alaska
to the tip of South America.

And I'm hoping that
the people I meet

and the places I go on this
50,000 kilometre journey

might just change my life.

♪ Why may I not go

My first stop was
an exposed stretch

of coastline in remote Alaska

where I'd heard there was
a possibility of waves.

♪ Trees have fingers that
may steal the earth from me ♪

I camped alone in the
spruce forest for two weeks,

waiting for swell and
spending most nights

terrified in my tent.

I felt like prey just
waiting to be eaten.

The safety and convenience
of the city, long gone.

Although my closest
encounter in the tent

didn't come from the bears.

(wind blowing)
(fire crackling)

All right.

This is the scariest thing
that's ever happened to me.

There's wolves everywhere.

Wolf came up to the tent,
right up to the tent,

right up to the bloody tent,

and now there's a whole
pack of them around me.

I'm not sure what
I'm gonna have to do.

I've got bear spray, but
this is pretty full on.

The truth is, a lot
of things feel freaky

in Alaska when you're alone.

Even when surfing
the huge sea lions,

the intimidating mountains,

I felt vulnerable
and scared a lot.

But I think it was the same
experiences with the animals,

forests and the ocean
that breed a bit

of life back into
my melancholy soul.

So today has gone from being
an absolutely amazing day

with pumping waves
and hiking out.

Yeah, shit kind of hit the fan.

I came back and my
tent's flown away.

I didn't know where it
was. It's pitch black.

And so I had to run along
the cobblestone beach

and eventually found
my tent in the ocean.

Everything saturated.

I'm pretty sure the
tents kind of buggered

and every night I'm
sleeping in a tent

and then shit like this happens.

It's a few negatives.

But as time progressed
and I learned more,

my mind began to slow down

and I started to appreciate
the small gifts from this land

that had seemed
so strange to me.

One morning I got chatting

with an incredible Tlingit
artist who made me see

how some people's connection
to place meant that the wolves,

bears and eagles were not
terrifying beasts of the night

but instead, direct links
to ancestry and community.

- So this is a
representation of a raven.

And the interesting
things about this is

I have articulating mouth to it.

This is the ears of
the raven up here,

eyes of the raven and the beak
comes down and straight down

and the fish is right down here.

This is actually a wolf cape.

You can see the claws.

These are actually sea
otter teeth that I used.

I'm actually undecided
whether I'm gonna use

a white fox like
this or a rabbit to
represent a bald eagle.

This is a digger,
digger handle I carved.

On top it's a Thunderbird and
they're holding the spirit.

And you can see the
face carved in there.

This is actual
human here as well.

Our people were very
spiritual people.

Everything had a spirit.

One of the things
that are important

to my particular
clan is Was'eitushaa

which is also known
as Mount St. Elias.

That's always depicted
with two spirits

connected to that mountain.

- [Matty] It sounds like
animism or shamanism.

Is that right?

- Well, shamanism
doesn't exist anymore.

It kind of went out of style,

especially when western
culture came in.

(gentle music)

- [Matty] As I hiked through
those Alaskan landscapes,

I had time to mull over
what Rob Baty had said

about the mountains
possessing their own spirit

and how in a way, it was similar
to what my Shaman friends

had said about the
spirits of the rainforest.

But do we even have words

to express those kinds
of ideas in the west?

And if we did, why
did we lose them?

My Irish ancestors lost a
lot through colonisation.

But when they arrived in chains

on the first fleet to Australia,

we soon took on the role
of colonisers ourselves

with a brutal outcome.

So what does that make me today?

After two months in Alaska,
I hit the road south.

(gentle music)

(engine rumbling)

(birds chirping)

As I rolled into
Vancouver Island,

the isolation of solo
travel melted away

as I met people from the vibrant

surfing community of Canada.

♪ So many roads that one could

One morning I got chatting to
a cute surfer named Heather,

who lent me a longboard

and showed me a fun
little local spot.

♪ So many places
where one can banned ♪

♪ So many things to

We caught a few waves together.

And in between,
she made me laugh

by randomly grabbing
pieces of seaweed

and stuffing them in her mouth,

showing you which
ones tasted best

and which ones I should
eat while on the road

to save money and stay healthy.

♪ But when I hold
you in my arms ♪

♪ I feel so grand

She also talked a lot
about the local forests,

and told me how
the latest research

from the University
of British Columbia

showed that individual trees
can communicate with each other

and that the mother trees

even send their
offspring nutrients

through underground
mycorrhizal networks of fungi.

It's real nice
hanging out with her.

- [Heather] So we
hung out a little more

and then I invited Maddy to come

and check out my little farm.

- [Matty] I jumped
at the chance, mainly
'cause I liked her,

but I was also inspired
by her big ideas

to change the world one
vegetable at a time.

- There's a big
movement in Vancouver,

so it's kind of a good
place to be an urban farmer

'cause there's a lot
of awareness around it.

Newspaper articles, talking
about CSAs and young farmers,

and there's a lot of
support for young farmers.

It really brings a
community together.

I guess my dream is to provide
good quality organic food

to my direct community
and indirect relationship

with the seasons
using principles

of permaculture
and agroforestry.

- Spending time with Heather

gives me a sense of
happiness and contentedness

that I hadn't felt since
living in Indonesia.

I'm definitely starting
to fall for her.

I think it's gonna
hurt to leave,

but if I don't, I'll never
make it to Patagonia.

We promised to stay in touch.

In the meantime, there
was a big swell forecast

and an infamous wave
I'd heard a lot about

that lay further south.

So I hit the road.

And being on the
road feels good.

I've got all my systems
down for travelling now

and having less possessions

than when I was in the
city is liberating.

Everything I own in the world
fits in my bike and I'm free.

Everything is absolutely
covered in dust.

That's what you get when
you're riding motorbikes.

I'd still prefer it over a
car any day. It's bloody good.

I'm starting to really
dig this motorcycle stuff.

And to top it off, I've
borrowed a local legends board,

I'm camping on Maverick's beach

and the swells supposed
to be up in the morning.

(waves crashing)

♪ Howling around my happy home

♪ Howling around my happy home

For an average surfer like me,

to drop into a
couple of those waves

was a bit of a dream come true.

I jumped back on my
bike buzzing with energy

and curious to see what lay
between here and Mexico.

As I rode from
iconic Sierra Valleys

to delicate desert arches,

it dawned on me how long it's
taken to shape this land.

And I wondered about the people

who had seen it change
through the ages.

As I learned more, I was
surprised to find out

the first nations
people of the US

were also traditionally
animistic.

It occurred to me that animism
isn't so much a religion,

but more of an ecological
feeling that everyone

around the world felt

from Australia to
Indonesia to the Americas.

(band singing in
foreign language)

This cannot be fucking real.

These guys, (indistinct)

Jesus Christ.

Fuck.

(percussive music)

(engine rumbling)

(percussive music continues)

(pedestrians speaking
in foreign language)

My bike's gone

My bike,

it's fucking gone.

I'd been eating tacos at
a beach-side restaurant,

watching the sun go
down when it happened.

The bike was only
parked 150 metres away,

but it was outta sight, and
I guess that's all it took.

Luckily I'd been repairing
my surfboards at the hostel

so at least they weren't
in the bike at the time.

- It's been one week of
fucking around with police,

with bikey clubs getting
robbed by the police.

I don't even know
what to do anymore.

I'm had a complete loss.

All I could think
about was if I had

of just stayed in British
Columbia with Heather,

none of this would've happened.

I limped back over the border

to where I'd been
only a week prior,

feeling embarrassed
and dejected.

Luckily my friends Jake and Pat

owned a surfboard
factory in San Diego

where they offered for
me to crash on the floor

to rebuild my life.

And so while they worked,

I applied for vehicle
insurance compensation,

a cheaper secondhand bike,

and thankfully some
generous companies

helped me out with
some adventure gear.

I lived in the shaping
bay for a whole month,

fixing the bike and writing
morose letters to Heather.

To say thanks, I bought
the guys some beers

and painted a mural
for their surf shop.

Losing the bike was definitely
a hard pill to swallow.

Although the insurance
money helped,

it didn't cover what
I'd spent and lost.

And so, my already tight budget

was reigned in even further.

But damn, I'm lucky
to keep riding.

And in one of those
strange serendipitous ways

when things start looking up,

five of my close
friends rolled into town

with their own bikes

and a plan to ride together
down the Baja Peninsula.

(engines rumbling)

(artists singing in
foreign language)

- What hit? What did
it hit, you know?

(friend speaking faintly)
(wind blowing)

- Yeah. Right there.

(engines rumbling)

- [Matty] Fuck.

- Come on. I've almost had it.

- [Matty] You guys probably
gonna need some harness maybe.

- Will you guys
help me to wag it?

(artists singing in
foreign language)

- [Friend] Whoa.

- I'm just in Kings country.

(artists singing in
foreign language)

(engine rumbling)

(fireworks blasting)

(artists singing in
foreign language)

(friends cheering)

- I saw a hummingbird on
our tent this morning?

They were like,
(imitates buzzing)

- Dude, I bet you
back in the day,

outlaws did their stick
bath in this motherfucker.

- [Matty] Having my
friends around me

has changed everything.

I just find myself
laughing all the time

and losing my stuff is beginning

to feel like a lifetime ago.

(engines rumbling)

Sometimes we'd stumble
across surreal campsites

interspersed with the prickliest
and most bizarre forests

any of us had ever seen.

Nearby caves showed ancient
artworks of the Cochimi,

a hunter gatherer people

from this particular
region of Baja.

They used to roam the deserts

with intricate capes
flapping in the wind,

woven from human hair.

But the Spanish conquistadors
who wanted their land,

followed by the
Christian missionaries

who wanted their
faith soon wiped out

their traditional
culture, language

and eventually the
people themselves.

There's less than 80 Cochimi
people alive in Mexico today.

We never met any of them,

but there's an
indisputable life force

still present in
those Boojum forests.

(suspenseful music)

The universe works in peculiar
ways, that's for sure.

It turned out that my letter
writing had been worth it

and Heather had driven all
the way down from Canada

to explore the desert with us.

- How's your hair, Matty?

- [Heather] He'd gotten a lot
hairier since I last saw him,

and even though he
smelled like a cross

between motorcycles
and campfires,

I still kind of liked him.

- [Friend] I love the
smell of burnt hair.

- Really?

- [Matty] Heather or Bummer,
as I've started calling her,

has been hanging out
with us for a month now.

My head's kind of spinning
and I'm feeling a bit nervous,

but I think I'm gonna ask her

if she'll come with me
all the way to Patagonia.

- I know I really like him.

- Well, I like her and I'm
pretty sure she likes me.

She's so sweet and you know,

intelligent and beautiful

and just up to really enjoy life

and just has such a
innocent curiosity

about the world that
really stokes me out

and definitely not many girls
out there like her for sure.

- Matty mentioned that maybe
I should keep going with him

and we could do
the trip together

and kind of made my
heart fly a little bit.

That was kind of nice.

(gentle music)

(sand whooshing)

- I never surfed this
board in tubing waves yet.

So it's a bit of a first.

Should be a bit of fun out there

and hopefully can
sit behind the rock

and pick off a couple
of deeper ones with it.

If there's one lesson that
losing my bike has taught me,

it's that like the Baja,

life can feel like a
barren desert of thorns,

but if you surround yourself
with friends and community,

it's easier to appreciate
how those thorns

are a small and important part

of this wild ride we're all on.

It was gonna be sad to
say goodbye to the gang.

But I couldn't believe it,

Heather's gonna
sell her little farm

so she can buy a motorbike

and we're gonna ride off
together into the sunset.

♪ Or you won't get too far

- This one.

Sweet. You're gonna kill it.

(Heather speaking faintly)

The thing is, I never really
saw myself as a motorcyclist.

I've never even sat
on the back of one,

let alone ridden one myself.

But for some reason
strapping two surfboards

and about a million
other things to it

feels like the
right thing to do.

(sombre music)
(engine rumbling)

- [Matty] One of
the main reasons

for setting off on this journey

was to surf the Pacific
Coast of the Americas.

But I never would've guessed

that a surf trip could
spark my interest in history

and what it means to be
human in today's world.

- [Heather] Arriving
at the ancient ruins

of the Mayan civilization
made us stop and think,

how did such a
magnificent society

collapse so completely?

- Like us nowadays,

they were sophisticated
with advanced technologies,

writing, mathematics,
astronomy, and engineering.

At the time, it all must
have felt so important.

But their kings
yearned for power

and the people
worshipped that power.

The elites built bigger
and bigger temples

to prove their status
until they deforested

all the jungles around them,

which in turn led
to severe drought

eventually contributing
to a collapse

of the Mayan civilization.

- [Heather] While it
was reassuring to see

that life continued
after the collapse,

especially with the
jungle now thriving,

we wondered about the
modern day Mayan people

and what they might have
learned through hindsight.

We'd heard about the Zapatistas

who have focused on
small scale farming

and community to
become an autonomous

and sustainable movement.

(Montserrat speaking
in foreign language)

In a way, listening to the
Zapatistas confirmed for me

that I'd been on
a good trajectory

with my community
supported farm in Canada

of building small scale
decentralised food systems.

- [Matty] And it made me wonder
about the idea of community.

Does it only refer to humans

or could community
include everything

we're in relationship with?

- Whoop. Sorry, guys.
(Matty chuckles)

I'm so excited.

- Good on you, Bum.

It was time to make some miles.

I'd always dreamed of
seeing the Amazon basin

since living in the
jungles of Sumatra.

(engine rumbling)

- [Heather] And I'm really
excited to cross the Andes

to see where potatoes come from

and to feel the Amazon
rainforest teaming behind it.

Stopped at this tiny little spot

in the middle of nowhere

and we're getting gas,
otherwise we won't make it.

- [Matty] There's been a few
times where we've come close

to running outta
fuel in the desert,

which feels kind of
gnarly considering

there's nothing
out here if we do.

We're entirely dependent
on the gas stations

for fuel and supplies.

- [Heather] And although
it sometimes felt like

we were riding on Mars,
the cold Humboldt current

makes the ocean rich with life,
including incredible surf.

- [Matty] One
unbelievable spot broke

for more than two
and a half kilometres

with rides that lasted
more than five minutes.

I got the longest wave
of my life out there.

- [Heather] And to
get to the Amazon,

we had to cross the
Andes Mountain range,

which was quite the
adventure in itself.

(cheerful music)

- [Matty] But along with
the altitude sickness

and breakdowns came
the crisp mountain air,

the epic views

and some of the best
campsites we'd experienced.

(engine rumbling)
(cheerful music)

After crossing the Andes,
the winding road down

led us to the humid jungle
of the Amazonian headwaters.

- [Heather] Shortly
after the roads ended,

so we parked the bikes and
jumped in dug out canoes

to head deeper into
the rainforest.

We didn't really have a plan.

We wanted to
experience the forest,

but other than that, we'd
just see what happened.

(birds chirping)

- Wow, that's weird.

He's licking inside
my nostril. Oh my God.

So we are in the Amazon

and it's bloody amazing

like so many places we've been.

But the big difference
between here and

even the mountains where
we kind of last were,

is this incredible
diversity of animals

and chaotic cacophony
of just life and death.

And then you kind
of really realise

how interconnected
everything is.

It's the same story
across the world

and that's the cool
thing, you know,

writing down from Alaska,

everything just seems
so linked to nature

and then so many of the
problems of the world seems so,

seems so distanced from nature.

I mean, we're travelling
on motorbikes,

so it's definitely not
a perfect scenario,

but it's really
been a great vehicle

for us to be able to explore

and learn a little
bit more ourselves.

These things look so cool
when they open up, don't they?

- [Heather] It looks like dead
leaves when they're closed.

- Thumbs up. Thumbs
up for nature.

I'd heard of ayahuasca before,

although up until then I'd never
had any desire to drink it.

But a chance encounter
with a warm shaman

gave us trust and curiosity.

(dramatic whooshing)

(enchanting music)

As I stepped into a world
I never knew existed,

it seemed clear that
the Amazonian cultures

had developed their own wisdom

or a different way of knowing

through plant
medicines and ceremony.

I wondered why my
culture had outlawed it.

While the west is interested
in exploring outer space,

other cultures are more focused
on exploring inner space.

Perhaps that means
the globalised world

could learn from small
forest communities.

After all, science
still can't define

what consciousness is.

(enchanting music)

Suddenly I could see
my own cultural bias

and how I'd been
conditioned to think

of the developed
world as superior.

I could see that a
lot of what society

had taught me about life was
just one modern perspective,

not necessarily a
historical truth.

Progress is inevitable,

mountains and mineral deposits,

technology will save us,

fish don't feel pain,

time is money

and that nature-based
cultures are primitive.

(bird cawing)
(enchanting music)

(native speaking in
foreign language)

For the first time,

I truly felt the essence
of what my friends

in Indonesia had been
trying to teach me,

that the entire world is alive

in ways that can't be measured.

a web of life of awe
inspiring power and beauty.

And as I smiled about how
much I loved being alive,

it also dawned on me just
how much I loved Heather.

(enchanting music continues)

Yeah. What have we got here?

- California puppies,

some kind of brassica weed,

alstroemeria and
pearly everlasting.

I don't know what this is.

They look like snapdragons
but they're not.

We'll set up a tent.

Hey.

- [Matty] After our
experience in the Amazon,

the sound of the highway
kind of lost its romance.

- [Heather] We thought
about what it might be like

to leave the roads
and cars behind,

to move in a way that's more
in tune to the local landscape.

(cars swooshing)

(gentle music)

We rode into Chile with a plan,

try to sell the bikes and use
that money to buy four horses.

We wanted to slow things
right down and rid ourselves

of the reliance on
roads and gas stations.

Then one day while surfing,
we met a couple of cowboys,

Sam and Mick, from the
outback of Australia

and they just happened
to be trying to find

a couple of motorbikes to
start their own adventure.

We offered to teach them to surf

and they offered to help
us pick good horses.

- Just used to riding it.

- We dunno how to surf and you
guys dunno how to ride, so.

(Matty laughing)

- You're doing so well though.

- Yeah, it's good.

- The first ride, you both
look natural in the saddle.

So that's half the battle.

♪ Once I was the king

♪ I took her to the town

Suddenly we were looking
after four horses,

two for riding and two for
carrying surfboards and gear.

My two are called
Salvador and Pichi.

- [Heather] And my two are
called Blackie and Harimau.

- We knew nothing
about riding horses

before starting
this new endeavour

and I didn't even know what
a halter was or you know.

I think I'd heard of the
word bridle, that's for sure,

but I didn't know how
the hell to put one on.

- Doesn't it look like

there should be a
strap over the front?

Is this really just
all a bridle is?

- I don't know.

- Can't remember anything.

- I have no bloody idea.

- I don't know how much
space there should be here.

- [Matty] Does that
go under a neck

or where is it supposed to go?

- I have no idea.

- Poor old Hari is actually
about 33 years old.

We were told
between eight and 10

or something is
what they told us

- By a vet,
- By a bloody vet.

And basically Phil
was full of rubbish

by the time we'd spent a
couple of days with him,

we realised that he was in
a bit of a different league

than the other three that are
in much better shape, I guess.

- [Heather] Carry surfboard.

- Come on.

Wow.

Not easy with these surfboards.

So Blackie had the
episode two days ago

where basically she was fully
traumatised by the surfboards.

Kind of got a couple of
rope burns in the process,

nothing really bad at all,

but it scared the
hell out of her.

And then she didn't
really like it much.

Blackie.

So now she won't go
anywhere near surfboards,

which of course when you're
trying to do a surfing mission

on horseback is
quite problematic.

(horse neighing)

- Whoa, Blackie.

Whoa, whoa.

- I am terrified of the horses.
So that's a great start.

I can't do anything near
them. It just gets worse.

Doesn't get any easier.

I tried to put the
saddle on Blackie today

and she freaked out and
ended up snapping her halter

and fell over backwards.

So yeah, excited to hop
on her and get going.

Yeah, kind of regretting
this whole decision actually,

but it's okay.

Yeah, it's been a little bit
stressful with the horses

and all of a sudden we're
both learning this new thing

and so we've definitely argued

more than we have with
the rest of the trip.

We didn't really have any
issues like that before

and it's just been
a little bit harder

and I think we're both
just like almost a year

of like every single
day together 24/7.

It's a bit crazy.

But it has been lovely
and we don't fight.

- Yeah, we don't fight.

- Except for now
with the horses.

- Yeah, we've definitely
had a couple fights.

- It's like having
children or something.

- Yeah.

Everything's just been harder
with the horses already

and we haven't even,
- Taken off yet.

- We haven't even started.

How she look with this?

- [Heather] Yeah, it's
just coming together.

- It's just gone.
- It's gonna work.

After almost two
months of testing ways

to strap surfboards to
horses, everything had failed

until we eventually came
up with a rack design

that stopped the boards
from touching the horses

or from entering their
peripheral vision.

- While we trained the
horses and built the racks,

we got to know the
next door neighbour,

Ramon Navarro, an
internationally respected

big wave surfer and
conservationist.

We'd heard he'd just
finished a long-term project

to protect the iconic
Punta de Lobos point break

from development forever

- As a surfers, a fisherman,

everyone knows that's a
pleasant place, you know.

There's not many places
like that in the world.

And my real vision is my
kid and the kids of my kid

can keep seeing the place
exactly what it was.

It's just the ocean. Why you
need to be private, you know?

So with surfing,

you need to understand
absolutely everything

that happened in the
ocean to be a good surfer

and to understand the ocean.

And I believe that's the way

we need to live
our life, you know,

understand what
exactly happened.

Fishing or spear fishing

is kinda like same
surfing, you know.

I get the same level
of power and adrenaline

to go spear fishing or just,
you know, just catching waste.

And it's not just to go to
the ocean, just kill fish,

it's like you pretty
much harvest fish.

And I believe that's
the main problem

of the humans right now,
like mostly the big boats

that they not harvest,
they just destroy.

Just take everything.

(gentle music)

(spear snapping)

I mean, if you go to the ocean,

you're pretty small in the ocean

and understand what happened.

You just, it's like
I go to my garden,

you're not gonna
take a green tomato,

you're gonna wait, you
know, until it's ready.

And it's the same
thing with waves.

You're not gonna pick
out the close out

of the little one if it's
a big ones out there.

You just gonna wait in it and
get the good one, you know?

And that make your like,

that kinda like next
level connection

and understanding and respect
and obviously protect.

(cheerful music)

- Yeah, I think
we're ready to roll.

I think we're ready to roll.

- There were a lot of concerns

about everything
on that first day,

but we figured if we can keep
it together for 100 metres,

then we could probably
keep it together

for a couple of kilometres.

And if we could manage to
travel for a whole day,

then there was
nothing stopping us

from doing it every
day for months on end.

That first beach ride felt
like such an achievement.

Even if we were
just plotting along

at four or five times
slower than a bicycle,

- [Heather] We avoided roads

and stuck to traditional
seaweed gathering

trails on the coast
none of them mapped.

We were traversing terrain

that we wouldn't have
dreamed of tackling

on our overloaded motorbikes.

It was so quiet.

Suddenly we could hear the birds

and the sound of the ocean.

Instead of warming loud
engines and checking oil,

our mornings were spent in quiet
awe of four gigantic steeds

and their peaceful spirits.

Sometimes just standing quietly

listening to their heartbeats.

- [Matty] The slow travel
meant that we began to notice

the small details
of the landscape,

like fruit trees ready to pick

or the various wild foods
that we're good to cook with,

not to mention the
personalities of random horses

who would try and
join our little herd.

- [Heather] We proved that
you can lead a horse to water

but you can't make it drink.

And for the most part we said
goodbye to roadside campsites

and cooked on an open fire.

(birds chirping)

- Coffee?

- [Matty] Sure.

- [Heather] The route
south was no longer bound

by the intervals of
gas stations and fuel

from the other
side of the world.

Instead we hunted green grass

and clean rivers, all
of it growing freely.

We have such a minimal impact.

And even then grazing animals

have a positive
impact on the land.

They encourage growth.

And their poo fertilisers.

And it's just pretty cool
that you can just ride a horse

along the land and go surfing

and just live and live
outside and be free.

It's pretty beautiful 'cause
that's what we're doing.

- You look beautiful, charm.

- No. You're a beautiful mate.

- It's added a big
challenge to the journey,

taking surfboards
because constantly

not only worrying
about grass and water

and somewhere to camp,

but then you've also got
the added dynamic of,

okay, what are the waves doing?

What's the wind doing?
What's the tide doing?

So it's like this whole
nother complication,

but at the same time,

I don't think I've ever felt
anything more rewarding.

Yeah, surfing on horse
backs' freaking awesome.

how long he will walk ♪

♪ For the bright morning sun

Look at that thing out the back.

It's just tubing off its brain.

Ugh.

- [Heather] We have the
most beautiful campsite

and we're so lucky to be able

to roll up onto the
beach and just camp.

- Yeah.
- This is amazing.

Such an amazing
way to see things

- Don't stand up in
the surfboard, mate.

Hola. Como estas.

♪ The lonely one does wonder
how long he will wait ♪

♪ Will the celebration be this
time for me and me alone ♪

- [Heather] Yes. First
bath shower in two weeks.

I think it's two
weeks to the day.

So it's exciting.

I feel a bit gross.

- You don't look gross.

- [Heather] At one point,

we stumbled upon
a little hamlet.

And after getting chatting
with a friendly local,

we learned how the Mapuche
were one of the only people

to fight the Spanish
conquistadors and win,

but are now again fighting

to protect their
lands and waterways.

(sombre music)

(Vivianna speaking
in foreign language)

- [Matty] We noticed Vivianna
had a sign in her window

protesting a pulp mill's plans

to pump waste into
their local beach.

(Vivianna speaking
in foreign language)

♪ And the taste of sugar

♪ And the sweet smell of decay

- [Heather] We'd written past
several of the pulp mills

that Vivianna was talking about,

where mountains of pine logs

are chipped into
pulp to make paper,

a process that produces
toxic wastewater.

And we'd even been
advised by locals not

to surf in those areas

because of the waste
outfall into the ocean.

Only recently, one
of the pulp mills

had illegally dumped chemicals
into a Ramsar listed wetland

killing tens of
thousands of birds,

including South America's
largest population

of black neck swans.

- [Matty] When we began
the horse journey,

we dreamed of riding through
picturesque wilderness,

but it was clear early on

that wilderness had
become a rarity.

Instead, our daily
horizon was lined

by the pine plantations
that fed the pulp mills.

Day after day, week after
week, month after month,

the monocultures continued

- [Heather] And because the
horses depended on the land,

it made the industrialised
landscape all the more obvious,

the horses had nothing to eat,

and maybe that's why we never
saw any of the native deer.

Most of the plantations
had big fences

or walls around them too that
would stretch for kilometres,

forcing us onto precarious
cliff side trails

to be able to continue.

(horses plodding)

♪ Turn weeds into extinction

♪ And bugs to smithereens

(horses whining)

- We're stuck in
this pine forest.

But yeah man, I hate
these. They're not forests.

I hate 'em. They don't even
look that good from far away.

You can tell they're
the same species of,

they're just silent,
dead money factory,

paper mache pieces of pine.

- They're a bit spooky.
- Yeah, they're spooky, quiet.

And anyway, so we've just
gotten like three kilometres

into this one and then I
remembered I left the GPS

where we had lunch
like two hours ago

or something like that.

And so I bolted back there
thinking that we might be able

to beat this storm.

And then obviously we haven't.

It's been raining
pretty, pretty good.

So I didn't find the bloody GPS,

which we really
need for down south.

We'll need all the time.

He's so hungry and thirsty
like he's sucking on my

fingers like he's
hungry and thirsty.

We need to keep going.
We've got kilometres to go.

We don't have any water
for the bloody horses.

We couldn't get out
the way we wanted to.

'cause there's a fucking fence.

- Yeah, there's no water.

- Really.
- Nah, nah.

It's all bloody salt.

So we're gonna have to keep
going for like, I don't know,

8K or whatever that
guy said and try

and find some up there.

At least there's a bit of food.

- [Heather] Even though it
had already been a huge day,

we had to keep pushing on.

We were doing okay but I
could see that Harimau,

being so much older
than the other horses,

was really tired
and would sometimes

need to stop to catch his breath

- You're doing well, mate.

You are doing well
buddy. We love ya.

- [Heather] But it was under
that big rising full moon

that I learned to let go
and trust in the horses.

Blackie had
challenged me so much,

but on that night we
kind of just surrendered

to the journey together.

And for the first time, I think
she and I truly connected.

- [Matty] Pretty
beautiful, still

- So nice.

Amazing actually, with
the stars and the moon.

- [Matty] After camp for
three hours in the morning.

Then traversing cliffs

and endless pine
plantations during the day,

then miles and miles
of soft sand at night.

We were getting pretty worried

about finding water
for the horses.

And after a couple more hours,

we were all exhausted
and needed rest.

- We haven't drunk any
water since the morning.

Literally, we haven't
drank a single drop

each since the morning.

- Yeah, I just feel like we're
letting the horses down like,

and then what's the point?

I guess now they're
miserable and cold and hungry

and thirsty and same as us.

The next morning we set
off parched but hopeful.

- [Matty] Hey, Bummer.

There's water coming
off the cliffs.

Wow.

Drinking the holy
water, mate, are ya?

Having a little drink?

- [Heather] That
beautiful spring

coming out of the cliff
emphasised freedom for me.

It was life pouring
out from the earth.

It struck me how we were
all made of the same stuff.

The horses, the birds,

even the plants that
clung to the cliffs,

all of us made of water.

- We don't even have to have
the horses tied up here.

That's the best thing.

They're just off. We can't
even see 'em at the moment.

All four of them are
just cruising along

this little stretch
of beach coastline

and they just come back here

whenever they want a
little bit of water

and it's pretty radical

that we can just
trust them to be free.

- [Heather] I guess that's
the thing about adventure,

often, it's the
challenging times

that lead to the
unexpected gems.

And this was one of those times

because right out the front of
that magic freshwater spring

was one of the nicest
waves we'd ever seen.

- [Matty] Oh my God.

Oh my god.

♪ Moonshine got me

♪ Moonshine got me

♪ Sun shines for me

- [Heather] Nice.

- [Matty] The day we packed
up to leave that special spot,

the waves were better than ever.

It hurt to ride away,

but if we were ever gonna
make it to Patagonia,

we had to keep moving.

(hooves clomping)
(waves crashing)

- Just, I was feeling a
little bit badly for Harimau.

He's so much slower than
the other horses that,

I feel like when he has
to walk their speed,

he has to work extra hard.

And he's a bit
older and skinnier.

He doesn't put on
weight as easily.

He's never been the same
size as the other ones.

And that's okay. He's
such a little champion.

He's so cool. I
love him so much.

I love all the horses.

We went up a hill
and just watching

how slowly he went up the
hill and just broke my heart.

And I don't know.

So I was seriously
considering stopping here

and trying to sell
Harimau and Blackie

and then having Matty
go on without me.

I don't know.

We were just arguing.

And it just felt like a
really negative situation.

Like we would find ourselves
in beautiful places

and I would have so much
love for the journey,

but then there'd be such,

we'd get in an argument

and it would just
feel so draining

on top of all the
work with the horses,

it's a lot of energy and a lot
of emotional energy I think

with the horses for me.

- [Matty] It took
a bit to sink in,

but with Heather
heading back to Canada,

we chose to try and find a
forever home for the horses.

We wanted all four of
them to stay together.

They'd become best mates.

And we met a guy in the
market who had heard

that we were gonna
be selling the horses

after the end of the cabalgata.

And he offered us
an amazing price.

He came up to us and said
he'd buy all four horses.

And he said that all four
horses were for his children.

Where we met him
was actually close

to the butcher in the market.

And I said to him, "They're
not going for meat, are they?"

And I pointed at the
butcher that was right there

and he's laughed and he's
like, "No, of course not."

And he looked straight into
my eyes and he shook my hand

and we made the deal
and we shook on it.

And then one of our good
friends from around here,

someone that we do
know really well,

someone that we can
trust came up to us

and told us he was gonna
shoot them the next day

and sell them to the butcher.

And he's still
supposed to be coming

this afternoon to pick them up.

Luckily we had some
friends up in the mountains

who had just finished
their own horse journey.

- Hello.

Hi. How's it going?

So yeah, I was just calling,

we're thinking about riding
the horses towards Pucon.

What do you guys think

about adding four
horses to your herd?

(phone chattering)

- [Matty] And so we set
off with a long way to go

up into the mountains.

♪ Why may I not go out
and climb the trees ♪

♪ Trees have fingers that
may steal the earth from me ♪

- [Heather] Our horses
had carried us so far

and we'd become a family.

I felt so much gratitude
for all of them,

but especially Harimau.

Pretty scary bridge,
hey, big south.

♪ I wanna go and

(tongue clicking)

♪ The cat's been found

- [Heather] Nice.

♪ Where will the sun be

You know, Hari, I wish you

♪ You'll have all night
to ponder about that ♪

- In a way,

I was glad we'd been forced
up into the mountains.

It meant that we could all stay

together for a
little bit longer.

So we're on the
pass at the moment

and it's bloody beautiful.

Last night the lake
was like a mirror

and it was just an
amazing afternoon

being in such a place
with the horses, you know,

because being on the
coast for so long

and then trekking
all the way through

and then coming up
here to the mountains

has been a huge reward.

But it's bloody cold.

And I don't know,

I guess we weren't really
prepared for the mountains.

This was all just a plan B

'cause we didn't want
to sell our horses

to that guy or anyone
that was gonna kill them.

Sounded like a lot of people

would've just sold
'em off for meat.

- My hands hurt and I
don't wanna do anything.

- Why?
- Because it's freezing.

And every time you use your
fingers, they get cold again.

- Why don't you put
your gloves on, mate?

- [Heather] We don't
have any gloves.

- [Matty] We don't
have any gloves.

How are we even gonna
get a ticket home?

- I don't know.

I already have mine.

- [Matty] Oh, I don't.

Heather and I had been through

so much over our time together,

but at this stage it was just
the plight to find a safe home

for the horses that kept us
trekking onwards, side by side.

Deep down, I knew that
in about a month's time

she would head
north back to Canada

and I'd set off alone
down into Patagonia.

- [Heather] We made the
packs as light as possible

for poor old Harimau,

to the point where
all he was carrying

was our sleeping bags and pads.

But it was clear by
this stage he was tired.

But no matter how
often he'd stop,

he'd never let us
out of his sight.

- [Matty] We're a
weird herd of animals

all trekking together
physically and emotionally.

Wherever one of us went,
the rest would follow.

♪ Something's waiting

♪ Something's waiting
down the line ♪

- [Heather] As we got
deeper into the mountains,

we came across small communities
who would often let us camp

with our horses on their land.

- [Matty] Sometimes
we'd exchange

travel stories with the locals.

And one man in particular
had gone far deeper

and far longer than
either Heather or myself.

(Adolfo speaking in
foreign language)

(Heather speaking
in foreign language)

(Adolfo speaking in
foreign language)

- [Heather] Pinochet?

(Adolfo speaking in
foreign language)

♪ How long are we
running outta love ♪

The next morning,

we rode on with Adolfo's sad
words ringing in our ears.

And there's a lot of time

to think and reflect
while riding a horse.

- [Matty] His sadness
about being disconnected

from his Mapuche roots triggered
a sense of sorrow for me,

first and foremost,
I felt for Aldofo.

He's a genuinely good man
who's had a hard life.

But on another level,
I felt a distant ache

for the disconnect
of my own ancestry

and what had happened for the
world to end up like this.

- [Heather] It seemed obvious
that throughout history

there's been a push to
eradicate nature-based cultures.

But I couldn't shake
what Adolfo had said

about those same oppressive
systems still being in place,

although now in a
predatory capitalist form.

That afternoon,

we were again welcomed
into a Mapuche community.

(group speaking in
foreign language)

- Our horses are
running away right now,

but it doesn't even matter.

I mean, we just know
that we're in the,

we're in my Mapuche
territory now

and we know we're
being looked after.

And the whole reason that

we know we're being looked after

is pretty much
because of these guys,

because of the love
that they create,

when people see the horses,

they feel a
connection to nature.

(horn blowing)

(group speaking in
foreign language)

(leader speaking in
foreign language)

(wind blowing)
(feet crunching)

(birds chirping)

Throughout this journey,

we've witnessed a
clash of two paradigms.

And perhaps where
we fit within them

comes down to the
story we tell ourselves

and in turn, the
laws we abide by.

Ancient law around the world

says the Earth is full
of spirits or persons,

only some of whom are human,

but all of whom deserve respect.

Whereas modern law says that

only humans and
corporations are persons.

Which means that everything
from the mountains

to the forests are just
resources for the taking.

- [Heather] If at
one point in history,

all of our ancestors were
deeply connected to the rivers,

mountains, the
animals and the trees,

can those of us who
have been disconnected

rediscover the
spirits of nature?

(cheerful music)

- [Matty] The funny thing was,

I could easily see Heather's
determined and loving spirit

and our direct experience
of living with our horses

for the last six
months made it obvious

that they too had
their own spirit.

There was big Salvador,
the gentle giant,

beautiful Blackie,
the strong leader,

cheeky Pichi, who
would stick her head

in the tent each
morning to wake us up,

and of course there was
faithful old Harimau,

who would follow us
all to the very end.

- [Heather] And so
if horses and humans

have their own
spirit or personhood,

then maybe a volcano could
too or a river or a forest.

And perhaps if we look closely,

we'll see that the mighty ocean
is full of different people,

none of them human,
but all of them surfing

and dancing for the sun.

- [Matty] Oh, you
ripped the bag, mate.

(horse neighing)

- [Heather] Harimau.

- You come out here into the
beautiful, quiet mountains

and you can hear a
woodpecker pecking away

or you can just sit next to
your horse while, you know,

while she sleeps.

And there's something just
immensely gratifying about that.

We had one final
mountain pass clear

before arriving at our friend's,
Greta and Ali's property,

our horse's forever home.

(hooves shuffling)

- [Heather] It was
a strange feeling

because with each step closer,

we were nearing a
goal that had taken

so much effort to arrive at.

Oh, Harimau.

But at the same time,

we knew it would bring
big change for all of us.

- [Matty] It's
slippery. You alright?

Go, mate. You're doing good.

(hooves clomping)

Whoa, dude.

- I dunno.

I'm really tired right
now on our last night.

- [Matty] What's gonna
happen when you go home

and then I go somewhere else?

- I don't know.

It'll be kind of tough
after spending like,

24/7 for 14 months together.

It's kind of a lot of time.
It's been really crazy.

Especially just what
we've been doing.

It's like really
emotionally taxing

and just so intense.

I think we also need a little
breather from each other

and to know that we like can
live our separate lives again

and be our selves
'cause that's something

I feel has not been
coming out in myself.

It's been really hard,

like latching onto
someone else's journey

- [Matty] In both of our
journeys by very much.

- Yeah.

- [Matty] We wouldn't
have done it,

it wouldn't be like this if
it hadn't have been for you.

- Yeah.

And I would never do this
if it weren't for you.

How do you feel
about this, Blackie?

- [Matty] We're on
the home stretch.

- Woo-hoo. Harimau.

- [Matty] Hold up. Hold up.

us and it was like, how?

I don't even know,
like, you know,

all of the different
questions that come up,

but then also that
gut feeling that says,

this is asking for you to
participate and you say yes.

And then once you say yes,

then you've opened up
all these other doors

for the things to
come in that you need

in order to make it happen.

- We were really
surprised when seeing

how people were like, "Wow, no,

this is part of our culture,
but it's gone, you know."

- They're disconnected from-
- There's so many,

it's third generation is
the only one who remembers

or knows what that's like.
- Yeah.

- [Matty] Whoa. Whoa.

That was gnarly (laughing)

Are you OK?
That was quite funny.

Sorry to be laughing but,

- It's like I don't want
to be left behind, buddy.

♪ You give me faith

- [Matty] Heather and
I spent that afternoon

saying goodbye to the horses,

feeding them some of
their favourite snacks.

- [Heather] I realised
that the horses

had been on their own journey

full of lush pastures
and scary plastic bags.

But now they were
home, they were safe.

And while we were all
going our separate ways

from here on out, we were
all gonna be better for it.

I'm glad for Matty

that he's still aiming
to get down to Patagonia,

but I'm heading home.

- There's been a lot
of saying goodbye

these last couple of days.

- Yeah, lots of saying
goodbye to the horses

and to each other.

It's kind of crazy
thinking about it.

But we're both gonna move on to

some pretty cool things I think.

- Where do I start?

It's pretty wild, really,

what's happened in the
last few days, you know.

my world's just been
turned upside down

and it's always been such
a massive high, you know,

this whole trip.

And then a few days ago,

said goodbye to the horses.

And that was pretty sad.

And then yesterday I
said goodbye to Bummer,

which was really,
really bloody hard,

a lot harder than what I
thought it was gonna be.

It's a really difficult
part of the journey.

I think it's the
most difficult part

of the journey I've experienced,

is when you gotta say goodbye.

I am really sad,
but I'm so stoked.

I don't know if I've ever
been this stoked in my life.

That's a ridiculous thing.

But I kind of got my heart
broken at the same time.

I finally understood.

I'd been so fixated on the
glory of reaching Patagonia

that I'd failed to
see it never mattered

to Heather in the first
place and now she was gone.

But I suppose the
best lessons in life

come from your mistakes.

And if this journey
has taught me anything,

it's that the greatest
mistake of all

would be to live in
fear of making one.
