Description
[edit]Ron Mann's Go Further is a documentary observing the escapades of Woody Harrelson and his comrades as they travel from Seattle, Washington, to Los Angeles, California. In an attempt to spread a message of change in order to better the planet, Woody and his companions—"a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a junk-food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to impulsively hop aboard"—speak at numerous universities and visit various environmentally important sites, as their journey weaves on and around Route 101.[2] It is an example of individual and political action on climate change.[2]
Book
[edit]The film also triggered the writing of a book, titled Go Further, published by Warwick Publishing in Toronto, Ontario. The book's ideologies and themes parallel the movie.
