This is one of those movies like "Into

This is one of those movies like "Into the Wild" where people are going to view it and get inspiration from stupidity. "Into the Wild" was about an idealistic young man who underestimated nature and ultimately met his fate because his ideals didn't exactly mesh well with reality. "The Journey is the Destination" is pretty much the same, only rather than underestimating nature, he underestimated people and, in specifically, the people that he was working to help. In one case it was man's disrespect for nature. In this case it was man's disrespect for the dangers presented by his fellow man. He might have been there as a photographer, he might have been championing Africa's cause...but in the end what killed him was the assumption that because he was on their side they would be on his. In the end it led to his death. He failed to realize that, despite trying to help the people, their hate ran deep enough to kill. Helping them only made him a target. But, nontheless, it's going to serve to inspire people that mistakenly believe that you have to teach men not to...kill, rape, insert idealistic woke diatribe...rather than take the necessary precautions to protect yourself. So, what we have is a tragic story that people are going to draw the wrong inspiration from.

Fails to capture the essence but still a good watch

"Mission Statement for Safari as a Way of Life:".. at 10 his photographs were featured in magazines and newspapers, received awards for community service while still a student. Visited 46 countries, learnt 7 languages ... an aspiring, inspiring young journalist who played a crucial role in having US and UN PKF to enter into Somalia primarily with a goal to address poverty and hunger issues.. well, that is what he thought... His famous quote was *"The journey is a destination*" He was loved by Somalis.. He and his team were covering the UN pkf raid to arrest their rebel leader Mohamed Farrah Aidid as Some Somalis wanted them to... but the mob attacked them and he was stoned and beaten to death. He was only 22. Even though movie fails to capture the essence and depth of his life and the facts, still a good watch.
