Adventurer James Levelle lives life on the wild side. After a hurricane nearly killed him he understands how deadly climate chaos can be. Jetting across the world, however, makes him part of the problem. Tired of doom and gloom climate anxiety, James has a crazy idea... Inspired by the next generation's efforts to make their voices heard in the climate emergency, James sets off from the UK on a 9000-mile race to document youth climate messages and deliver them in a film to the United Nations climate conference in Chile. His challenge is to get there by any means possible... fossil fuel free. Beginning on the South Coast of England he sails to France, then races through Europe to catch a tall ship that carries him across the Atlantic Ocean to South America. But before he sets off to cross the continent and the Andes Mountains, he receives devastating news. The Santiago climate conference has been cancelled and moved to Madrid. James now faces a seemingly impossible task... can he still find a way to document youth climate messages in South America and deliver the film to the UN in time?
