Into the wind in 20th century America, young men discovered their
rites of passage toward manhood by working on the farm, joining the
military or attending college. In 21st century America, the rite of
passage for most boys becomes blurred in the confusion of the
changing roles of men and women. Into The Wind offers teenagers a
window into the world of two teens about to discover what it is to
become young men by adventuring to Alaska. The boys do not know
what is ahead of them, but they seek their fortunes. They face not
only danger, but their own shortcomings in the midst of challenges.
Whether it's arm wrestling the meanest mountain man in Alaska or
witnessing a grizzly - moose conflict in the wilds - each boy grows
in his own way. It features Trevor who laughs at life, who loves
life and takes risks - often foolish ones. His brother, Dan, tries
to moderate him to no avail, yet, the younger boy learns life's
lessons and proves it. Nothing can keep Trevor's humor and passion
for life in check. relationships, personal responsibility, personal
crisis, ecology, hard work and a sense of wonder with the natural
world.
