Chris McCandless’ Sister Thinks She has the Truth About Why Her Brother Went to Alaska, But She’s Not Sure.
After ending his marriage to his first wife, Walt wed Billie the following year in 1971. Carine maintains contact with her half-brothers and sisters as well as her other half-siblings, all of whom she warmly accepted into her family. On the other side, Chris did not have quite as much good fortune. According to Carine, Chris’s dishonesty was playing a significant role in his thoughts at this point.
Ultimately, she realises that this was the impetus for Chris’s decision to run away to the wilderness of Alaska. It took Sean Penn ten years to make “Into the Wild” because he had to wait to begin filming until he received authorisation from the McCandless family as a unit before he could move forward with production. Carline? Chris believes that most people are familiar with the conclusion of her story but that few know the beginning of it.
