00:01A public inquiry into the deaths of Aboriginal women...
00:05The world had stopped making sense.
00:10And I was feeling lost too, you know, and full of anger and disappointment.
00:15So I just wanted to be alone in nature for a while.
00:18And I set out to make a documentary on the longest trail in the world.
00:23The Trans-Canada Trail connects three oceans.
00:27There are 24,000 kilometers of trails, and I'm going to try to travel from one end of the continent to the other.
00:34I'm getting some help from some of my friends along the way, but I'm going to be doing most of the trail by myself.
00:44What matters is temperature, it's wind, and animal prints in the mud.
00:50It's the Wolf Superhighway.
00:52Go on, Black Bear!
00:54It is not running.
00:56I know I see that.
00:57This is really intense, man.
00:59Ah!
01:01We're stuck.
01:02We're not at Disneyland here.
01:03No.
01:05I'm lost.
01:06That's what gets people killed, right there.
01:09I think that today's day 500.
01:12And it's pretty funny because I think I still have 14,000 kilometers left to go.
01:17After this time in nature, I'm really starting to feel a sense of connection.
01:24She's breathing.
01:26Traveling with respect and reverence for what sustains life.
01:34You're very beautiful.
01:35Mind if I lie here with you a while?
01:37Totally bagged.
01:38That's all good.
01:39I chose this.
01:40This journey is about reconnecting and saying thank you to the ancestors of this land.
01:53So thank you.
01:54Bye!
01:55Bye!
01:56Bye!
01:57Bye!
01:59Bye!
02:00Bye!
02:05As they say, it's the journey, not the destination.
