Around the World in 21 Days

About This Movie

So, 'Around the World in 21 Days' is a fascinating little documentary that follows two London women embarking on quite the journey. They kick things off in South Africa, which is really interesting given the backdrop of the bicentenary year of the abolition of the slave trade. The film has this raw, almost gritty feel to it at times; the pacing is a bit uneven, but it works somehow. You really get a sense of their adventure and the cultural intersections they encounter. It’s not just about travel, but about exploring identity and history through their eyes. There’s something about the way it captures those moments that feels authentic, even if the director remains a mystery.
