The Vice Guide To Travel

The Vice Guide to Travel is a web series from VBS, the online television arm of Vice Magazine, which sends journalists and filmmakers to some of the weirdest and most dangerous places in the world like Liberia, Chernobyl, North Korea and Pakistan. The correspondents don't make anything easy or safe; they consistently try to find the most elusive characters to get the real story of these exotic locales. The correspondents are looking for adventure in these pieces, but they are also looking to inform. There is a definite journalistic angle to each episode, as they make sure to give background on the place to help the viewer better understand how the area came to be as it is. Vice says they go to these far-flung locales "so that you never, ever have to go for yourself as long as you live. We took cameras so that we could prove that we went." This attitude of finding places no one would want to go and getting as deep as possible into it pervades each episode. The Vice Guide to Travel DVD was also released with new locales and appearances by Spike Jonze, David Cross and Johnny Knoxville.
