Adventure Movie Night: Last Paradise (Awesome!) - Feb 24

 

Adventure Movie Night: Last Paradise (Awesome!)
February 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

“I’ve watched the short version of this film in New Zealand and it is AWESOME! A must see for any adventurer, ecotourism student/professional, or concerned global citizen.” – Don, Executive Director, Calgary Area Outdoor Council http://caoc.ab.ca/

Here’s the rundown:

In the extraordinary wilderness of Australia and New Zealand a bunch of daredevil kids experimented with something that would change the world of adventure travel. Through 45 years of the most stunning original footage we join the original extreme sports pioneers in an epic journey of adrenaline seeking. Their global quest for adventure takes us on the road less traveled during the 60’s and 70’s to witness firsthand the discovery of amazing paradises that few ever knew of – before they tragically disappeared. Yet the very same pioneering spirit provides the answer to turning it all around.
