Awareness / 180° South
180° SOUTH is a new film told through the eyes of climber / surfer / writer Jeff Johnson during a 6-month voyage to South America to climb a mythical peak called Corcovado with his heroes Chouinard and Tompkins. The film delves deep into the roots of climbing, surfing and the environmental movement's most prolific renegades in the hope of finding a new generation's compass in an over-populated, techno-industrial society. Johnson's gritty story telling conveys a unique voice for environmentalism based on experience rather than pie charts and idealism. His cynical humor and humble approach belie this status as a bona fide underground legend.
