The work at the «Available planet. Family invaturizm in Russia» project is being over. The project has been implementing with the support of the Russian Geographical Society. The documentary series are called up to tell about invatourism and to help its development.
The main character of the film is Oleg Baikov, a 14-years old boy, who lost his ability to move independently because of his hard decease. He is very curious and adores traveling. Members of his family share his addiction to adventures. Once at the family council it was decided that the wheelchair - not a reason to abandon trips. That was the way the «Available planet» family project was created. It promotes educational and ecological family tourism as an alternative to the traditional beach holiday.

Nowadays the Baikovs have left behind 11 countries and tens of cities. They went up the mountains, they went by boat and studied the jungle. To make the traveling useful, the father of the family Konstantin decided to shoot the movie. The idea was supported by the Russian Geographical Society, giving the grant for that purpose.
For the grant funds the Baikovs shot the material for three films about their traveling in Crimea Republic, in Pskov and Leningrad region as well. The participants together with the crew visited the museums, parks, gardens and many other attractions. The film shooting took place from August to November, 2015. The material is being assembled and voiced at the moment.
«We did not want to create cinema about the difficulties of overcome, etc., on the invalid thematic. We have a character, he differs of the others a little, but that is does not matter. It was important for us to shoot a film, which will be interesting to watch», - Konstantin Baikov tells. – Obviously, that there where the wheelchair traveler passed, old people, families with small children and people with disabilities will be able to pass as well».
