Chasing the Dragon

 
Kevin Vallely and Frank Wolf attempt to be the first people to bicycle between and ascend all 13 of Java, Indonesia's 10,000 ft volcanoes. They arrive in Jakarta on the evening of September 10, 2001. Events of 9/11 shock the world the following day as the two embark on their expedition. Vallely and Wolf have no concept of the profound repercussions playing out on the international stage. As a military build-up begins on the border of Afghanistan the safety of Westerners in this part of Southeast Asia becomes of great concern. Intense heat, wild drivers and active volcanoes were expected by the two adventurers in their Chasing the Dragon expedition but traveling through the largest Muslim country in the world as a "Jihad" was declared against all Westerners ultimately seems to have the Dragon chasing them.
