Very nicely done and easy viewing with decent un overpowering fitting music. Captures subtly the essence & spirit of this part of America with it' big wide open spaces,roads & desserts of the West also where people are drawn to pass through and experience. Richard Grant does a good job quietly and respectfully hosting this with good writing. A nice insight to some of the lives & stories from the Rodeos, the Preacher, the 'White Owls'/retired folk in their RVs, the freight train Vietnam Veterans and especially young Comfrey's and his unknowing destiny. Good viewing overall.

One of the most genuine documentaries, should be placed in The National Archives

I must have seem this 10 times in the past decade.
You could tell that Richard knew what he was talking about. He lived the life and experienced it first hand which made him gain the trust of genuine nomads and allowed them to share their stories unimpeded.
I also have Richard's books but have to say that this documentary is superb. Very well written and well edited. There is enough variability in the stories and the different characters he meets to keep the documentary entertaining and robust at the same time.
