The Road to Patagonia — Special Screening

About this Event

Join us at the cinema for a special screening of The Road to Patagonia, a real-life adventure into nature’s unknown.

The lives of two strangers are changed forever when they cross paths on the surfing adventure of a lifetime, discovering love, downshifting and four charismatic horses. Including 16 years of footage, this truly is a verité documentary.

The film’s director and one of its principal adventurers, Matty Hannon, states: “Not only do I believe in the power of adventure to coax us out of our digital lives – to reconnect ourselves with the Earth and each other – but I believe in the power of an emotive documentary, an immersive experience that inspires the audience into self-reflection and action.”

Despite investigating themes of colonialism and globalisation, the film aims to instil an uplifting sense of hope and positivity.

This event is part of Waiheke Community Cinema’s EcoFest series which explores our connection to the environment. Each one-off Tuesday night screening offers a chance to reflect, learn, and be moved to action—whether it’s rethinking our impact or deepening our appreciation for the planet.
