To Measure a Mile: A Film by Chris Carter on His Pilgrimage Along the Pacific Crest Trail

Chris Carter grew up the son of missionaries in Kenya, Africa. He moved to the United States to study, climb, learn. In 2018 Chris took the physical and spiritual challenge of hiking the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail in the western USA. The film he created grabbed me from the first sounds of a camp stove lighting up. 

I welcome Chris to The Happiness Quotient to discuss the journey, about the friendships formed, and about the process of creating this incredibly moving and powerful film called To Measure a Mile. I love the film and you will love it, as well. 

Excerpts from the film will weave together with the interview done with Chris from his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
