DVD Review: Travels With Charley
Summary: 5 Stars
Exhilarating, funny, intelligent, shocking, and raw, Ewan and Charley take us along on their adventure of a lifetime on their BMW R1150 GS Adventure motorcycles. A heartwarming and intimate portrait of two best friends sharing an amazing journey together on the road, it feels like they take you right along with them on their travels. Ewan's constant, infectious laugh and Charley's feisty yet good-natured demeanor and comic facial expressions make them a hilarious and irresistible pair. Every day I looked forward to coming home from work and popping the latest episode into the DVD player to see where their adventure would take them next. From the Ukraine, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan to deep into Siberia on the disturbing Road of Bones (Stalin sent 20 million people to their deaths constructing it), they must traverse dangerous flooded river crossings that threaten to crush their vehicles and turn them back, and become helpless witnesses to a horrific bear poaching perpetrated by the very people who stop to help them, all nauseatingly caught on camera, of which later, Ewan and Charley reveal their true feelings of shock and disgust over the incident. Ewan and Charley have an enthusiasm for living life to fullest that is unmatched and completely addicting. They speak directly to the audience on camera through their diary logs that puts the entire program onto an intimate, personal level. If you enjoy travel programs, are a motorcycle fan, or a fan of Ewan McGregor, this is a highly informative and entertaining documentary of a journey of exploration on personal and geographic levels. I loved every minute and hope they take us on another journey in the near future. Other notables include their work with UNICEF and children's rescue, and adorable animal encounters (don't miss the beard-biting puppy in the DVD extras). And in addition, great music scoring with song clips from Radiohead, Massive Attack, Orbital, Stereophonics, and more.
Their journey through Africa is more tension-filled (recurring problems within the group erupt but are eventually worked through) and serious, but just as entertaining and interesting as Long Way Round on their BMW R1200 GS Adventure motorcycles this time. Perhaps the most difficult and emotional journey of the two, the group visits a primary school in Marsabit, northeast Kenya, where 80 people were massacred, including 20 children in July 2005, and then their shocking visit to a church in Rwanda where 5,000 victims of genocide were slaughtered in one day. Their interaction with local Kenyan farmer families is extraordinary to watch, and the children they encounter are adorable and always so interested in the camera. Their partnership with UNICEF and Riders For Health in Kenya is showcased, demonstrating how medical care and medicine is brought to people who could not access health care otherwise. Also don't miss The Missing Face on the DVD extras, further detailing their efforts with UNICEF and related organizations that give aid to impoverished, abandoned, and abused children and what we can do to help. Another fantastic soundtrack is also included in this adventure (check the Long Way Round site for an episode guide and music credits), which includes artists such as The Boxer Rebellion, Ebb, Ayub Ogada, Geoffrey Oryema, Ben Onono, Afro Celt Sound System, and many more. Thanks Ewan and Charley! I can't wait for you to bring us along on your next motorcycle journey!
