View Trailer2025 | 86 min | Canada
In this enchanting and visually stunning documentary, director Alison Reid (The Woman Who Loves Giraffes) brings to life an extraordinary true adventure.
In 1957, celebrated wildlife artist Robert Bateman and renowned biologist Bristol Foster set out on the journey of a lifetime, crisscrossing the globe in a rugged Land Rover in pursuit of wildlife, wonder, and deeper understanding. What began as youthful wanderlust became a formative expedition that shaped Bateman’s iconic artistic vision and lifelong conservation ethos.
Blending breathtaking landscapes, archival treasures, and reflective interviews, The Art of Adventure is an inspiring celebration of curiosity, creativity, and the enduring call of the wild.
