Gringo Trails

Gringo Trails is about one of the most powerful global industries of our time: tourism, and it starts with backpackers. They are the key to opening the door in developing countries. The documentary looks at the long term effects of travelers on cultures, economies, and environments worldwide through their most important souvenirs... their stories. Pegi Vail explores the topic through both personal and professional perspectives: she is a former backpacker, now an anthropologist whose research focuses on backpacker tourism.

I would very much like to see this movie when it is finished. Just let me know when I can buy a DVD copy.

Thanks, this video raises some important issues associated with backpacking. I'd like to think we have the answers, but we don't. Highlighting the issues is, at least, a start.
