A paddle-board journey down a remote stretch of river in Western Nepal isn’t a typical spring break trip for a kid. But that’s exactly what climbing guide David Morton sets out to do with his 7-year-old son, Thorne, in the spring of 2018. Through long stretches of flat-water, cliff jumping, broken fins and occasional rapids, what unfolds offers proof that even in today’s hyper-digital world, it’s possible to foster wildness in our kids.

When the experienced guide Vic accompanies the city boy Alan and his three friends on their first wilderness experience, he not only hopes to teach the four boys lessons about the wilderness, but about themselves. Vic pushes them to the limit. Soon after alienating the boys, Vic finds himself in desperate need of help and must rely on his students in order to survive.

After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity, and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness.
