They talk about

« An immersion in the depths of Canada. »
– TREK MAG

« This adventure is illustrated more by the beauty of the landscapes crossed and the philosophical approach of the director, than by the search for performance. » – OUTSIDE

« Unaltered landscapes should encourage us to question our models, not to superficially escape them. In Surrender to the Wild, there are all these dimensions and others that will be unique to each viewer. But it persists above all as a global desire to share an emotion that the author feels universal: the call of nature, essential, majestic and harmonious. Far from the machines, from the din of modernity and its rhythm that one feels forced, the film invites to parenthesis, to stop, to abandon. »
– MR MONDIALISATION
