For everyone who liked 'Into the Wild' I suggest the documentary 'Once I Was a Champion' that tells the story of Evan Tanner, a mma fighter who died in a pilgrimage in the Californian Desert. Evan, an avid travelller just like Chris, was also a person who had trouble finding his place in this world and suffered from depression and a deep sense of alienation.
