Synopsis
Imagine "Into the Wild" as a documentary. Brando, a spirited young man grappling with ADHD and a sense of disconnection from society, embarks on an incredible odyssey. At just 18, he decides to walk the entire coastline of New Zealand. It takes him over two years, but that’s just the beginning of a series of awe-inspiring adventures spanning over a decade. Now known as “Wildboy,” he traverses the massive Greenland Icecap on skis, kayaks around Vancouver Island, and cycles through the Australian Outback. But it’s not just about the thrill; along the way, Brando confronts profound questions of identity, purpose, and mental well-being.
