Since 2013 Jan Dudeck has returned regularly to map out what he has coined the “Greater Patagonian Trail” — a 1500km route which includes old roads, horse and game trails, footpaths, and rivers. It’s the longest continuous trail in South America. From mid-December 2016 to mid-April 2017 a group of four trekkers will traverse the trail to highlight the area — the people, the culture, the landscape — in efforts for the conservation and preservation of the land and local cultures. Garrett Martin, Robyn McLellan, Aljoscha Adam, and Robert Caruana Dingli will be documenting their journey and will put together a feature-length documentary called UNBOUNDED.
