The Call of the wild retraces the travels of Chris McCandless, a 24-year-old “aesthetic voyager” who died in the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. Over the course of his journey, filmmaker Ron Lamothe encounters an entire cast of McCandless-inspired characters, and uncovers new evidence that contradicts both Jon Krakauer’s (Into the Wild) interpretation of McCandless’s death, and that of Sean Penn’s Hollywood docudrama.
