"Can we go on at the same speed and in the same direction or ought we to change course?" asks anthropologist, writer, leader of the Kontiki expedition, Oscar-winner and the most famous adventurer of our time, Thor Heyerdahl. Director Peter Engberg asks the question "What is real progress to you?" to some of this world's most respected politicians, experts and writers, among others: Dalai Lama, Michail Gorbachev, Deepak Chopra, Peter Ustinov, Hanne Marstrand Strong, Peter Høeg and Thor Heyerdahl. The film is an adventure which takes us around the world to the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, Central America, Africa, Scandinavia, Peru, Thailand and Bhutan - in search of real progress.
