The Traveler", an award-winning film, capturing the first part of the Nexus expedition from Alaska to Mongolia.
This first film includes walking across the Bering Strait sea ice, between Alaska and Russia; skiing/walking across Eastern Siberia; and cycling across Mongolia.
We've collected a few award laurels so far... Find the trailer below! Keep an eye on our social media for announcements of screening dates and cities.
Disclaimer: Apology for some of the profanity used in the film as well as a lot of dancing! But then again, this is what happens when one spends a lot of time alone... at one stage Dimitri did not see anyone for 1 month.
