What happens when the guy who founded The North Face falls in love with the woman who helped Yvon Chouinard turn a piton business into Patanogia, Inc.?
You get two of the most successful conservationists who’ve ever lived.
Wild Life — the upcoming film from documentary power couple Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin — tells the story of Douglas and Kris Tompkins, the dirtbags-turned-outdoor-industry-phenoms-turned-conservationists who reshaped the public lands of South America.
If the trailer is any indication, this one is going to hit you right in the feels: a love story, a conservation story, a blueprint for saving the planet set against some of the world’s most jaw-dropping scenery.
Check out the trailer (above) and be on the lookout for the film in theaters nationwide this April.
Runtime: 3 minutes
