A Map for Saturday: Our Year Around the World

By hihostels on July 8, 2008 - 4:16pm

This documentary will make you want to leave your job and go backpacking. Emmy award winning producer Brook Silva-Braga leaves his cushy gig with American TV network HBO and travels to 26 countries over 11 months with 5 pounds of clothes and 30 pounds of video equipment. Along the way he documents his experience within the fluid subculture of travellers who question the logic behind jumping too quickly or too deeply into the 9-to-5 tradition. Brook will be present for a Q&A after the screening. Get ready to quit your job and buy yourself a backpack. Brought to you by Hostelling International.
