Hong Kong-based writer and adventurer Cameron Dueck, a Mennonite himself, tells the extraordinary story of his 45,000 km motorcycle odyssey across the Americas to learn more about the Mennonite diaspora. Across Latin America, from the plains of Mexico to the jungles of Paraguay, lives a cloistered Germanic people who fled persecution in Europe, the Mennonites. For nearly a century, they have kept their doors and their minds closed, separating their communities from a secular world they view as sinful.
