In Los Angeles, Christopher walks by Pete's Cafe and Bar. He watches people celebrating inside. Pete's Cafe and Bar did not open until 2006. See more »
I read the book in 1996. Like others, it moved me profoundly. I created a series of prints of my interpretation of Chris. I haven't read the book since.
This film transported me right back to the spirit that Krakauer brought to life in the book. I spent a few years traveling alone from 1994-1996. This film reminded my why I left and why I returned. Ten years later, all grown up with all the crap, I'm haunted again by Chris. What a well done job.
Thank you Sean & John. You did it right.
By the way, try to catch Holly Figueroa's song "Dream in Red" inspired by Into The Wild.
