Our work at Tompkins Conservation - restoring the planet by creating parks on land and sea and rewilding - is constant and ongoing." – Kristine Tompkinsįollows former Patagonia CEO and president / co-founder of Tompkins Consv., Kristine Tompkins, on an epic, decades-spanning love story as wild as the landscapes she has dedicated her life to protecting. I can only wish that Wild Life offers a semblance of hope and reminds anyone who sees it that whoever you are and wherever you live you can make a difference in this world. "Jimmy and Chai have honored Doug's and my life's work in a profound, moving way.
Official trailer (+ poster) for Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi's doc Wild Life, from YouTube: Wow I'm all about this! It looks absolutely gorgeous, as always from these filmmakers.
Shot all across the wilderness of Chile, in conjunction with archival footage, the film is ripe with lush cinematography and poignant moments. The film spans decades of entrepreneurial and conservation work and serves as a stunning look into the unbelievable professional and personal highs & lows of Kristine's life. After falling in love, Kris and the outdoorsman and entrepreneur Doug Tompkins left behind the world of the massively successful outdoor brands they'd helped pioneer like Patagonia & The North Face, and turned their attention to a visionary effort to create National Parks in Chile and Argentina. Wild Life is a sweeping portrait of conservationists Kris & Doug Tompkins chronicling their fight to preserve one of the last truly wild places on earth. This first premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival last year, and is also playing at SXSW this month before it opens in theaters this spring. "I desire to preserve this place - I think that is as strong a bond as any two people can have." NatGeo has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film called Wild Life, the latest from acclaimed filmmakers Jimmy Chin & Chai Vasarhelyi (of Meru, Free Solo, The Rescue).
