I translated that particular statement as simply as their quest to "raise awareness of the wild places and their importance to the planet and to us humans." Immersing oneself in nature and adventure works as a means to get us to see that we are "connected" to our planet and spirit, so to speak. It is humbling and nurturing and awe-inspiring and ultimately joyful and usually inspires one to revisit one's relationship to oneself, others, and mother Earth and start asking oneself the larger questions about the meaning of life and the nature of "God", etc. My college-age daughter saw this movie - she said the backpacking scene reminded her of "us." Back when she was younger, we went on some big backpacking trips that did connect her, it turns out and give her confidence. Tee Hee - "going back was not an option" and we hiked through a lot of terrain.
