Director Statement
Travel documentary is a popular and growing genre in film, yet often doesn’t delve into wider issues, like the effect of globalism and international tourism on the recipient nation. With this film, I was happy to find the opportunity to explore these concepts, while also trying to answer other relevant questions: can recreational travel be a political act (for better or worse)? Does experiencing different cultures as a child leave a lasting mark on your psyche growing up? As a parent, does having young children mean the end to your days of exploring the world?

In documenting the Primus family’s journey, I hoped to at the very least bring the viewer consider these questions, while maintaining the excitement the travel film genre provides in allowing one to vicariously experience global adventure.”
