VICE Guide to Travel
According to Ernie Dingo and the Northern Territory tourism board, ‘You’ll never never know, if you never never go”. It’s catchy. We’ll probably go there because of it and come home content. However, there are some places on this planet less alluring than a tropical park, places we are happy to never never go to, but would still like to know more about.
The guys from VICE have done the dusty and sometimes dangerous legwork for us, in the first installment of the VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL. From mutated-animal tracking in Chernobyl to buying a dirty bomb in Bulgaria, different VICE crews investigate issues in an attempt to prove their hypotheses that despite our western comfort ‘most of the world is hell’ and ‘basically, humans are fucked’.
We were skeptical at first about kids from VICE reporting on serious issues. This was overturned by the fact that we trust our TV channels even less. VICE don’t claim to delve deep into serious issues. They do, however, present obscure global destinations in accessible short docos. And the stories are damn interesting, skimming the surface of issues we’ve pushed out of our consciousness.
VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL – it’s better than Contiki.
