Tracks 2013

I watched this movie on Kanopy a database on our library website.

This movie is an adaption of Robyn Davidson's memoir recording her 9 month journey across the Australian desert.

Tracks is the true story of Robyn Davidson, a 27 year old woman from Brisbane who decided to embark on a 1,677 mile trek from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean, crossing the Australian outback. She embarked on this journey in 1977. Robyn did her journey mainly alone. Her only company were her four camels and her faithful dog. A group of aboriginals didn’t want Robyn to do this journey alone and advised her to complete this journey with one of their elders. Robyn only wanted solitude.

It was a tear jerker, that made me cry. It was filled with many moments where she doubted her ability to complete this journey. Robyn met a few different characters that live and thrive in the isolated outback of Australia.
