A Gem not to be missed

Taxicab Confessions needs to be released on DVD. As a documentarian myself, this is one of my favorites. Gritty and unapolgetically real. Taxicab Confessions displays a wide range of what is part of the human spectrum. Moving, unsettling, sad, disgusting, wonderful, human, real, touching - it's all of these. It should be continued in more cities (took place in NYC) and as a regular series, but in the same manner as it was originally filmed and created. I would love to see a Chicago Taxicab Confessionals, as well as LA, etc. even a small town series - as well as international cities with subtitles. It seems that the best series are always the shortest lived.
