Barbecue connects people along the way — from the ice of Alaska to the embers of southern Brazil.
The Origin
Before it was a documentary, One Road Adventure was a quiet promise — made by Celso to his own mother. The pandemic put the dream on hold. Life set its own pace. But the promise never disappeared: it simply waited for the right moment to become a road.
"It's not about completing a map. It's about what's left after the journey."
Bonds that outlast time and distance.
What we leave behind for those who come after.
The courage to start over on foreign soil.
The road as a mirror of the inner life.
The Protagonists
A friendship of many years, born behind the scenes and tested by challenges. Show de Carnes and Cali Life Films grew up together — this is the natural continuation of a real story.
Celso
Entrepreneur, Show de Carnes
He built four restaurants from the ground up, always with fire as his trade and family as his reason. This trip is the fulfillment of a dream put on hold — not for lack of will, but because life insists on testing promises before letting them come true.

Fábio
Founder, Cali Life Films
He turns miles into cinematic narrative. After a documentary in southern Brazil, this is his most personal and ambitious work yet: capturing not just a road, but a friendship that crosses borders.
Gui Santos, Celso's friend and an NBA forward, is expected to join the first season as a special guest — bringing One Road Adventure a touch of the reach and audience of international basketball.
From Alaska to Brazil
12 to 15 stops are planned along the journey. These are the ones that already have a name — each one a culture, a tradition, a story around the fire.
An epic starting point.
Frontier and freedom.
Barbecue culture in its home territory.
Latin roots.
A South American connection.
Centuries-old tradition.
Arrival and legacy.
Every stop reveals authentic stories — people who share their table, their culture, and their dreams around the fire.
The Ritual
Every culture has its own way of gathering people around the embers. Barbecue is ritual, memory, and identity.
Every stop reveals authentic stories — people who share their table, their culture, and their dreams around the fire.
A journey through Latin roots across the Americas: immigration, entrepreneurship, and the strength of communities built from nothing.
For Brands & Sponsors
We're building one of the largest independent documentary journeys ever produced by Brazilians in the United States — and looking for partners who want to be part of this story of culture, friendship, and resilience.
