14,000 MILES - A Journey To Mongolia (Mongol Rally Movie)

A group of friends entitled 'The Dusty Kiwis' take on the Mongol Rally in their 998cc Nissan Micra 93, also named Molé. In an epic roadtrip of the ages, they travel from England to Mongolia without assistance or thorough planning, encountering numerous breakdowns and challenges along the way. The 2018 rally comprised of nearly 300 teams and took place over 3 months.
This was a non-profit venture. Any funds the Dusty Kiwi's raised went to The New Zealand Mental Health Foundation and Cool Earth. The trip itself was funded entirely out of the team members own pocket.
Thank you to The Adventurists who continue to organise and make these events possible.

So many mongol rally movies on there usually leave me skipping my way through... this one was probably the best I’ve seen

[@NedBrannigan]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@tomaytotomato]

Agreed other videos are try-hards or filled with over the top personalities. This is chilled, informative and entertaining.

[@PoleToPoleTravel]

Wishing I was on the rally right now. 2019 vet. Need it in my life again

[@phoebelazaro9410]

the level of love, respect and care shown towards dog was honestly heartwarming

[@DragoMusivini]

When you truly experience the culture and the people of places like Iran you will truly see it is not the people who are bad.

[@andrewbarrett9670]

Me and my brother did the rally in 2007 on monkey bikes we was called the incredibles it tuck us 4 week and slept most of the time at the side of the road no tent what a journey good video guys alot of memories flashing back

[@timurkhamzin9084]

Уау!!! Это просто круто!!! Тоже хочу так

[@davidclarke7728]

Loved the part with the Iranian family

[@MoePower2]

I thought "hell no, I'm not watching that!" when I saw it was nearly two hours long. But I just watched the whole video and it didn't dissappoint. I have wanted to participate in Mongol Rally for years, but I don't think I'll ever do. Don't think I have friends crazy enough to go on a journey like that. But who knows what the future might hold..

[@geoffjones545]

What a fantastic achievement and excellent film, well done and total resect

[@nodirlola]

Iranian people very kind! Thank you!

[@matdobson6404]

Great film. I did the rally in 2010, really similar route, similar experiences and thoughts. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!

[@TheVanderfulLife]

This has been edited so well!

[@KilkennyLights]

Great movie. We did it in 2009. Amazing. Well done guys.

[@theliciusfamily]

We have laugh with you. We have crying with you. Keeping it go. Congrats you two and his team travel together. 👌👌👏👏

[@alidunco4465]

👍 😎 greetings from Slovakia

[@chingu1432]

Going to Mongolia in a car like that and traveling through it with full enjoyment without too much complaining is for the coolest, most adventurous people, not for the faint of heart. Awesome job, guys!

[@janetginger8571]

looking back I am glad I am warm

[@hamoud88]

i enjoyed your video and your trip 🥰

[@markydh3]

I watch lots of KZbin content and very very rarely comment, but this deserves a comment. Fantastic vid, well done to you all and cherish the memories you made and your experience 👍.

[@poharhanni]

Guys, what a brilliant movie... We just found your road movie absolutely randomly on a Tuesday evening in the middle of the pandemic after a long day of remote office work, and we didn't know what a gem we're about to watch. Wonderful achievement, beautiful scenes-sights-clips, and there is actually a moral to the story, (great storytelling). Honsetly thank you for this beautiful experience, thank you for sharing your story, and special kudos for Megan for being such an iron lady and being vulnerable in the same time.

[@sarahsantora8592]

Well done, professionally put together and you answer the big questions that we have: what is each country like, what are the people like, what were the challenges? You did a good job describing each of these.

[@jonathantaff3007]

oh what an adventure, stupendous. Thank you so much!

[@Videona]

Great documentary/movie. Loved the way you stood easy on the oncoming challenges and simply dealt with them without overthinking or worrying...

[@aaronlynch6113]

Fantastic video, well done guys! Loved every second

[@nicoferreira1426]

Absolutely fantastic video! A trip of a lifetime - how I envy you. Greetings out of Africa.

[@thedanistan5889]

What a great road movie! Funny, exciting and touching. Can't wait to do that trip myself... :-)

[@MiguelFerreira-dp2ud]

Flabbergasting! What a wonderful trip and very well edited video! Congrats! Cheers from Portugal

[@philoography8233]

what a cool trip really inspiring

[@mariotavares6668]

what an adventure!

[@jenskriek4280]

Brilliant, thanks for uploading! I'm super impressed that Molé managed to grind on till the end, despite all the setbacks! That blizzard and river breakdown... Megan proved to be an iron lady!

[@patandderry8416]

Very kind people all over the world.

[@pandabella2525]

I loved this doc! It was fantastic. As for Iran I think the main difference is the government vs the wonderful people. It's unfortunate that it gets such a bad rap from their tyrannical government like many places in the middle east. Loved how you really focused on the highs and the lows, a lot of the mongol rally doc's I've found doesn't really show the down times, and if they do it's for a brief moment. Well done Dusty Kiwi's! Blessings of light and love! May your travels and adventures never end.

[@fromtheroad3081]

Awesome film!

[@Radian94]

우연히 떠돌다 이 영상을 보고 감명받아 코멘트 달게 되었습니다. 우선... 당신들을 기리기위한 표현들이 영어로 떠오르지 않아 이렇게 한국어로 쓴점 양해부탁드려요. 올해 그 전염병으로 전 세계사람들은 당연히 만날 수 있던 낯선사람은 커녕 이웃도 만나기 힘든 세상이 되었네요. 그런 우울한 세상 속에서 이 영상으로 인해 많은 힘이 되었습니다. 앞으로 이 시련이 끝난다면 어디로 가시든 응원하겠습니다. 항상 건강하세요! -From South Korea-

[@mathiaseriksen5270]

extremely well done

[@zakrapley5161]

I rarely comment on videos, but I had to on this one! This was such a great video from start to finish and you've completely inspired me to take part! Thanks for putting this film together, and here's to more adventures!!

[@jordanbyrne721]

Great video guys!!

[@IMStrick_]

This is beautiful

[@jamescharles3953]

Nicely done, loved watching the edit. Goes to show all these “overlanders” are a bit of a joke. You guys killed it, all with a little old Nissan. AWESOME.

[@MattBeardless]

K10 owner and Mongol Rally fan here - really wouldn't have been my first choice but the MA engines in those are plucky as anything - one of mine's done 232,000 miles and still ran when I parked it up (due to rust). Nicely edited, great watch. :)

[@marselnong3708]

Mantap 👍

[@jambowebster69]

epic work ned mega edit brother

[@NedBrannigan]

Cheers bro! Yeah she was a challenge haha

[@andypre1667]

So you are all New Zealanders but forgot to make a pit stop in Old Zeeland? Oh well... Quite inspiring video though. Loving it.

[@bbokboonja2128]

I was not sure if I'd make it to the end of this lengthy clip but here I am glued to my phone until the ending credit. You should def enter your road movie into competitions they are really well edited with great storytelling. Now I would like to enter the 2022 edition hopefully with my wife and my currently 16 month old daughter ;)

[@NedBrannigan]

Awesome to hear you enjoyed it! We were wanting to, but all the music is unlicensed so we couldn't unfortunately. I do however have a couple of short films on the horizon that I will enter into competitions. You should definitely do the rally! I'm not too sure about taking your 16 month old daughter though haha

[@LoonieXD]

awesome video guys :) really helped keeping my adventure spirit up in these times

[@samegutten]

Thanks of uploading!

[@NedBrannigan]

My pleasure!

[@versedi]

Briliant editing, seemed a bit slow on start but I've got hooked pretty soon

[@js8430]

Nice video! But why would you’d drive straight through that pond in Mongolia? It looks way shallower on the sides of it lol

[@dylanoneill1102]

We’re still asking that ourselves 😂

[@arnmsten]

Just saw this video, awesome, good video 😅😎 Me and a friend wants to do the rally one year, but have a lot of planning to do 😅

[@tollevkvendbo]

No dislikes, class

[@tollevkvendbo]

This didn't age well

[@guycann]

Awesome video and great editing. Must have taken ages. I've booked the rally for next year and this has made me super excited. Quick question, what camera did they use?

[@NedBrannigan]

Thanks Guy, I appreciated it. Awesome to hear you're giving it a go too. I'm not too sure on the lens, but I believe the camera was just a Canon 70D and GoPro 3 or 4

[@dylanoneill1102]

Canon 550D, iPhone 8, GoPro 4

[@mrsporty9669]

Looks like Iran was most friendly country on this route 💐

[@mongolempire1277]

It’s just a normal day in my country

[@danilomarzo57]

meraviglioso

[@hearmenow909]

Why didn't you go to the left of that river, it was much shallower?

[@dylanoneill1102]

That is a very, very good question! Hindsight is a beautiful thing 😅

[@user-tk7wx1oq8i]

Hello can I question how much it cost?

[@Maoulduin]

35:52 Lawd haveth merthy.

[@hearmenow909]

What was the music playing when the car got stuck in the water please? I went through all your listed songs and it wasn't there. Thanks.

[@NedBrannigan]

Ah yes, you're right! It's Marakesh by Peace Orchestra. I've added it to the description now. Thanks for pointing that out

[@davidf7076]

Is it possible to get around the 1.2-liter max for a car? Seems like a VW golf or old land rover would be great for this and a lot safer, would it be possible to somehow still participate but not officially if you had a car that was 1.4 liters or so?

[@goblinio]

The point isn't to be safe mate

[@AndreiDragonulBGS]

you can enter with cars with bigger engines, the point is to drive something that was not ment for this

[@TheWindigomonster]

Probably a dumb question, but what happens to all these cars after the rally? do they all just get sold in Mongolia?

[@AndreiDragonulBGS]

you have to drive them back or ship them. can't sell/leave them in mongolia or any other state

[@robsmithracing]

Maybe warn those who have epilepsy about the strobe lighting. I had to fast forward that bit.

[@TheTravelCollective]

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your story. We recently interviewed Scott who also made this trip, (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKC1oGmHib-NgNU) I am now fascinated with learning more about it! Thank you again for sharing!

[@Dockhead]

fuck id love to do something like this, damn problem is i dont have a license and suffer from a awkward condition with diabetes, i need to find someone doing this rally so i can hop on XD anyone wants a 24 year old semi Jesus looking diabetic on there journey hit me up.

[@dulekvser1]

54:00 they said the same about serbia

[@DannyK1992]

55:08 the people =/= the government / regime

[@SilvioSaab]

In the United States, you can’t find a car with less than 1 L engine.

[@JamieStingray]

Got to the part of crying and moaning and had to leave it there. Watch the Kinging It Mongol Rally. Well made and there's minimal crying
