Join your local Patagonia store for a free screening of 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless. The film is inspired by the 1968 trip by Patagonia founders, Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins.
Jeff Johnson saw the footage and spent the next 10 years dreaming of repeating their adventure. In 2007, Jeff made it happen in a six-month traverse of North and South America. Though he went looking for adrenaline-filled adventure in mountain climbing, he found himself on an environmental journey. His film documents the environmental disasters that threaten our natural places and those who are working to save them.
