The story of Andrew McAuleys attempt to become the first person to kayak 1600 kilometres from Australia to New Zealand across one of the wildest and loneliest stretches of ocean on Earth. Screening locally on the ABC and a joint commission with the BBC, Solo is an Australian Touching the Void. Featuring actual recordings from the fatal adventure and some heart-wrenching personal footage supplied by family and friends Solo is a stunning portrait of man versus nature and is an investigation into what drives a person to participate in such dangerous sports.
