Since we got Netflix a few weeks ago, we’ve been watching a lot of great series and documentaries. Yesterday we enjoyed 180 Degrees South - a beautifully-shot documentary about the simpler things in life; the things that really matter. It documents adventure-seeking Jeff Johnson on his journey from Southern California to Patagonia to repeat the life-changing trip two of his heroes made over forty years ago. Those heroes are Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins, founders of The North Face and Patagonia turned environmentalists and conservationists. What started off as a surf/climb expedition turns into a lesson about the battle between conservation and industrial growth. We loved it and would definitely recommend it.
