180 South is a very visually intriguing documentary. It follows the story of Jeff Johnson and his friends as they travel to Patagonia to climb to the top of a peak as inspired by Yvon Chouinard. Along the way, they see beautiful scenes of nature, meet interesting people, and talk with them to better understand the importance of preserving nature like Patagonia. While watching this documentary, I was completely in awe of the beautiful landscapes and mountain peaks, and I couldn't help but be very sympathetic to Jeff's cause. During the movie, Jeff Johnson kept bringing up the ideas of society to change nature to make it better suit our needs and how we need to stop that from continuing and reverse the process. Just the thought of someone destroying something as beautiful as Patagonia and all of its wildlife is a complete travesty. From watching 180 South, I have a newfound respect for nature and the measures that people take to keep it intact.
