"In the extraordinary wilderness of Australia and New Zealand a bunch of daredevil kids experimented with something that would change the world of adventure travel. Through 45 years of the most stunning original footage we join the original extreme sports pioneers in an epic journey of adrenaline seeking. Their global quest for adventure takes us on the road less traveled during the  60′s and 70′s to witness firsthand the discovery of amazing paradises that few ever knew of – before they tragically disappeared. Yet the very same pioneering spirit provides the answer to turning it all around."

“Last Paradise is a dazzling adventure story told in 45 years original unseen footage restored by Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings team.”

“Tomorrow’s protectors of wilderness are the kids who play in it today”
