The final films of Race Around the World. Spoiler: Winner revealed

Elliot Constable has clinched victory in Race Around the World, marking the conclusion of the 100-day journey across the globe. In this reboot, the contestants were given the liberty to choose their own locales, culminating in Constable's triumphant finale.

Accumulating the highest points among the six filmmakers, Constable not only claimed the title but also secured funding to embark on his own ABC project. The series finale features two installments showcasing his experiences.

In Brazil's largest favela, a father is on a mission to alter the trajectory of his son's life. On the expansive Mongolian steppe, certain days are deemed ideal for transformation, not due to the day itself but because it provides the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the progress made.

The series also delves into the world of cosmetic procedures, exploring the democratization of beauty treatments. However, the question arises: for whom? Another segment examines the rising trend of facial rejuvenation, pondering its accessibility to different demographics.

In rural Vietnam, a local fortune teller reveals a tarot card, offering insights into the diverse backgrounds of the participants. Meanwhile, off the coast of Senegal, a fisherman contends with the devastating impact of illegal trawling on marine life, contemplating the necessity of illegal migration for his family's future.

Lastly, we follow Yang, a stay-at-home father in China, who, influenced by his strict upbringing, aspires to raise his child differently. The narrative unfolds from his perspective, referred to as a "gwai lou" by the Chinese community.
