Return to the Wild: The Chris McCandless Story
Twenty years ago, a young American hiker named Chris McCandless, the accomplished son of successful middle-class parents, was discovered dead in an abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness, becoming the subject of the best-selling book and film "Into the Wild." Now, PBS retraces Chris McCandless' steps to try to figure out why he severed all ties with his past, burned or gave away all of his money, changed his name, and hiked into the Denali Wilderness. McCandless' own letters, published for the first time, as well as new and surprising interviews, delve into the mystery that remains at the heart of a story that has become part of the American literary canon and continues to captivate so many to this day.
