Description

The Motorcycle Diaries in reverse as a group of privileged Americans in 1974 travel by land from California to Buenos Aires to visit a friend. Descriptions of the last days before globalization, out of touch with everyone from home. The three endure long bus rides, perform rock and roll songs for Indians, are jailed in Chile after hiking with smugglers through the snowbound wastes of the high Andes. Freedom Pure Freedom, a fictional version of the same story with some of the same characters, imagines a reverse Peace Corps where a poor Indian farmer is brought to the United States.
