History
In 2005, Gill decided to cycle from
Alaska to
Argentina, a 20,000 mile journey that took a little over 2 years. He took a
tandem bicycle one, picking up secondary riders spontaneously as a means of getting to know the people and the places he visits.
The film won Special Jury Prize at the
Banff Mountain Film Festival in 2009 and has since been shown in over 400 cities worldwide.
