The video below is just a brief teaser for an upcoming adventure film set to debut on Red Bull TV on November 24, but considering its intriguing premise I felt it was worth sharing. The documentary will follow adventurer Jerrie van de Kop as he attempt to traverse the African country of Tanzania using nothing but wind power. The journey begins on Zanzibar Island and ends on Kilimanjaro, with Jerrie using a variety of wind powered methods of transportation in-between. The expedition, which appears to have its share of ups and downs, was done in an effort to promote “global cooling” as way to reverse the impact of climate change. Check it out below.
