500 Days in the Wild Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: After tackling Everest in 40 Days at Base Camp, Dianne Whelan decided to trek across Turtle Island, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans, along the Trans-Canada Trail... All 24, 000 km of it. There were problems: for a start, the trail is still a work in progress; some stretches are on-road... (She decided to cycle those parts, kayak others, and ski sections too.) After just ten days Dianne threw away her two year schedule. In the end, it took six years to complete. This is her journey, hard-fought wisdom, calluses et al.

00:02 >> A public inquiry into the deaths of Aboriginal women.
00:04 >> One of 200 more are missing.
00:06 >> The provinces are looking to turn up the pressure for a public inquiry.
00:08 >> The world had stopped making sense.
00:10 And I was feeling lost too, you know, and full of anger and disappointment.
00:15 So I just wanted to be alone in nature for a while.
00:18 And I set out to make a documentary on the longest trail in the world.
00:23 The Trans-Canada Trail connects three oceans.
00:27 There are 24,000 kilometers of trails.
00:30 And I'm going to try to travel from one end of the continent to the other.
00:35 I'm getting some help from some of my friends along the way.
00:39 But I'm going to be doing most of the trail by myself.
00:44 What matters is temperature, it's wind, and animal prints in the mud.
00:50 It's the Wolf Super Highway.
00:53 >> Go on, black bear.
00:55 It is not running.
00:56 >> I know, I see that.
00:57 >> This is really intense, man.
00:59 >> Ah!
01:01 >> We're stuck.
01:02 >> We're not at Disneyland here.
01:03 >> No.
01:04 >> Lost.
01:05 >> That's what gets people killed right there.
01:08 >> I think that today is day 500.
01:11 And it's pretty funny because I think I still have 14,000 kilometers left to go.
01:17 >> After this time in nature, I'm really starting to feel a sense of connection.
01:24 >> She's breathing.
01:27 >> Traveling with respect and reverence for what sustains life.
01:32 >> Thank you.
01:34 >> You're very beautiful.
01:36 >> Mind if I lie here with you a while?
01:39 >> Totally bagged.
01:42 >> That's all good.
01:44 I chose this.
01:46 >> This journey is about reconnecting and saying thank you to the ancestors of this land.
01:53 So, thank you.
01:54 >> Bye!
01:56 >> As they say, it's the journey, not the destination.
