PARAGUAY — South America's Forgotten Country

Matthew’s latest Paraguayan adventure is more than a clarion call demanding you get out there and learn what you don’t know — It is also a funny, poignant, ambitious filmmaking journey rooted in genuine curiosity for understanding cultures different than our own. We hope watching these adventures does for you what it did for many of our closest friends: Fill you with the urge to pack a bag and take off — with the goal of better understanding the world around you. With a heavy focus on conservation awareness, a hunger for adventure, and a joy for learning — watch Matthew live with a Paraguayan tribe, partake in their rituals, join protestors in Asuncion, document South America’s growing Marijuana industry & examine the growing danger of forest fires.
