The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot

A meditative documentary pilgrimage that honors a departed friend's philosophy of wandering while exploring humanity's restless search for meaning and connection.
When Bruce Chatwin was dying of AIDS, his friend Werner Herzog made a final visit. As a parting gift, Chatwin gave him his rucksack. Thirty years later, Herzog sets out on his own journey, inspired by Chatwin’s passion for the nomadic life, uncovering stories of lost tribes, wanderers and dreamers.
