This public broadcasting series has been on for 8 years, but I hadn't heard of it until today. Today, I happened to watch an episode from 2008, featuring Team Australia making the last leg of their journey from Adelaide to Uluru. I highly recommend viewing this interview with
Bob Randall, Traditional Owner and Custodian of Uluru.The premise of the series is the following:
Roadtrip Nation is a public television series and grassroots movement that encourages young people to hit the road in search of interviews with leaders who have defined their own distinct routes through life. The search for eclectic individuals who have resisted pressures to conform and who have become successful by following their own paths is what drives Roadtrip Nation. This remarkable movement documents these journeys of self-discovery in a free-spirited, adventurous series that encourages people all across the globe to move outside their comfort zones and explore the world.
The show is "career"-focused, and each of the team members were said to be in search of "radical change".
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/roadtripnation/episodes.htmlThe particular episode I watched was worthwhile, and given the show's obscurity in this area, I have to wonder how this episode is the first episode I end up seeing. One of those, "Is this a coincidence or Spirit?" sorts of curiosities.
(For me the viewer, I was looking at career path as metaphor for Path.)
