BIG RIG Documentary Showcase

Sleek steel monsters roll through the night on a cross-country odyssey that keeps the wheels of the American machine turning. Meet the working-class heroes who deliver your food-and all the goods you can’t live without. Doug Pray (SCRATCH, HYPE!, SURFWISE), travels 21 ,000 miles-spanning 45 states and dozens of truck stops – riding with truck drivers and interviewing a community that faces mounting challenges, including rising fuel costs, on unsympathetic public and government interference. With hauls becoming less and less profitable, the truckers soldier on, knowing the importance of their role in the American economy and bolstered by o quiet pride . As we look inward as a country to address the challenges our excessive consumption has created, BIG RIG is especially relevant. Featuring a soundtrack by Buck 65 , BIG RIG’s gorgeous American vistas and a unique cast of trucking characters take you along on a much-cherished rood trip that will make you thin! twice the next time you speed post on 18-wheeler… roger that good buddy.
