A’ Colombia – Southern California buddies, Dunkin and Jay, having enough of the LA stress and emptiness, head off on a road-trip seeking peace and an escape of personal troubles. So the logical solution is trek to Columbia. Based on a true story, peace and safety was actually never discovered nor reached. Then, as baggage, the close friends brought their own pain and sadness of addictive behavior with them. You can change scenery but to make a personal change, one must change the mind. Drug use in the film is common to the story theme. Some beautiful scenery was filmed and some wonderful close-ups of locals in-country. Overall, I didn’t gain by the telling of the tale. I did feel saddened and touched, but without growth.
