A three-and-a-half year journey across three continents could never be entirely squeezed into a single film or book. That’s why we’ve created this part of the website: to share some of the material we couldn’t include in the main story. These ‘extras’ have been produced to the same standard as the film and book themselves, and are free to share, enjoy and discuss — Tom will do his best to answer any questions left in the comments. We hope you enjoy delving deeper into the journey!
