Long Way Round: The Ultimate Road Trip (DVD, 3-Disc Set) Ewan McGregor

Good friends Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman decided to see the world the hard way for this acclaimed documentary television series, riding their motorcycles more than 20,000 miles through an incredible variety of locations, including London, Luxembourg, Prague, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska, Toronto, and Mount Rushmore, and finally ending up in New York City. MacGregor and Boorman have a deep, affectionate chemistry and charisma that is immediately apparent, and they make for affable and good-natured tour guides here. Stunning, unfamiliar scenery and a great soundtrack add to the charms of this exciting, well-made, and tightly-edited show, all seven aired episodes of which are presented here. Also included are exclusive interviews with MacGregor and Boorman, several unaired scenes, and additional footage from various phases of the trip.
