Into The Wild

Some stories stay with you forever.
The true story of Christopher McCandless stays with me still.

The Story : A young man leaves his middle class existence in pursuit of freedom from relationships and obligation. Giving up his home, family, all possessions but the few he carried on his back and donating all his savings to charity Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) embarks on a journey throughout America. His eventual aim is to travel into Alaska, into the wild, to spend time with nature, with 'real' existence, away from the trappings of the modern world.

When he reaches Alaska he finds he has been insufficiently prepared for the hardships to come. . With no means of sustaining himself he starves in his so sought after isolation.
