The Last Tourist with Tyson Sadler
Mar 17, 2024 Season 5 Episode 3

Tyson Sadler is an explorer, traveller and award-winning filmmaker. He has directed documentaries for The New York Times, Associated Press, and The Huffington Post. His films have been screened at festivals around the world including Tribeca Film Festival, South by Southwest, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and the Toronto International Film Festival. An early pioneer in virtual reality documentaries, he has used cutting edge technology to tell stories that build empathy around causes such as climate change, forced migration, and human rights. Sadler has worked with Sierra Club, Pencils Of Promise, World Vision, Save The Children, and Global Citizen. He is also the founder of Waterborn Expeditions, a responsible travel company committed to ethical ocean exploration. 

Travel is at a tipping point. Tourists are unintentionally destroying the very things they have come to see. Overtourism has magnified its impact on the environment, wildlife, and vulnerable communities around the globe. Filmed in over 15 countries and guided by the world’s leading tourism and conservation visionaries, THE LAST TOURIST reveals the real conditions and consequences of one of the largest industries worldwide through the forgotten voices of those working in its shadow. The role of the modern tourist is on trial.
