Experiencing Interruptions?

Father and Son

New film for the launch of the 2020 Land Rover Defender, featuring modern-day explorersKingsley and Ross Holgate. Through their Kingsley Holgate Foundation, the father-son duo adventure across the wilds of Africa and beyond for humanitarian initiatives, such as malaria prevention, water purification, and Rite to Sight spectacles for the poor-sighted. Set to Kingsley Holgate’s soulful narration, the film recounts the many journeys he has taken with his son, Ross. As he reflects and passes on the wisdom he has gained from a life of exploration, we see the beautiful bond between father and son. Playing into themes of legacy, heritage, and evolution, a poetic connection to the Land Rover Defender emerges: just as the Holgate’s aspire for what is good to live on in the new, so does the 2020 Defender with its enhanced quality, capability, and comfort.
