A warm, visually stunning documentary following two friends across the globe, balancing the beauty of discovery with the genuine friction of extended travel.
From epic landscapes and unforgettable culture, to the often trying times that come with international travel, Departures chronicles the unforgettable friendships, personal successes and sometimes crushing disappointments that befall travellers Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach on their journey. Departures is as much about the journey as it is the destination.
