The Art of Adventure
A high-spirited and highly engaging documentary.
Event Description
Event type: All AgesWith her high-spirited and highly engaging documentary, director Alison Reid invites viewers along for a journey they won’t soon forget. In 1957, two young Canadians named Robert Bateman and Bristol Foster set off in a Land Rover they nicknamed “the Grizzly Torque” for a 30,000-km trek spanning three continents. Their journey cemented a lifelong friendship and their experiences on the road helped instill the love of the natural world; a love they would continue to demonstrate in their careers, Bateman as a leading wildlife painter and Foster as a pioneering biologist and conservationist. Reid brings this true-life adventure story to the screen through her film’s lively mix of new interviews and fascinating archival material.
