Summary
What film has had the greatest impact on Blister’s managing editor, Luke Koppa? The one we’re talking about today. ‘180° South’ details the adventures, friendship, and philosophies of Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tomkins; it documents Jeff Johnson’s attempt to retrace their 1968 trip to Patagonia; it features an all-time soundtrack and the animation & artwork of Geoff McFetridge; and the film is just as relevant today as it was when it came out 15 years ago.
