Big North

Italian writer Paolo Cognetti attempts a daring trip in the northeast of Canada and Alaska, going all the way to Stampede Trail and Fairbanks Bus 142, where the body of hiker and activist Chris McCandless – whose life is portrayed in the film Into the Wild – was found. Α life’s journey inspired by literary greats such as London, Hemingway and Thoreau, in which a contemporary writer discovers the boundaries of man’s relationship with nature and comes across people who have a go at a similar way of life, trying to grasp the essence of their choice.
