Claudio Von Planta, travelled the world on two wheels with Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman as the Camera Operator/Director of the Long Way series (Long Way Round 2004, Long Way Down 2007, and Long Way Up 2019).  He is that and so much more, a man with Special Forces training, who has interviewed Osama Bin Laden, and covered conflict zones since 1985.  His story is fascinating and he delivers it in a wonderfully understated Swiss manner.  

Producer Rog caught up with him at the second Dubai Motorcycle Film Festival.
