In today’s episode we talk with filmmaker Clemens Boecker about the remarkable journey he embarked on while filming pop star Joey Kelly. Kelly set out to travel from Berlin in Germany to Beijing in China in a beat up old car, with no money and relying on the help of those he met along the way to reach his destination. It was an eventful journey involving pitstops in Russia and Mongolia - and a bizarre encounter with a bear.
