I really liked this documentary. As a showcase of life on the rails, it is very gritty and open-minded. The people that Allison meets are loners (mostly youths) and they put up with all sorts of awful living conditions as they cart themselves around North America. I always had it in my mind that train hitching would be a great time, a parallel escape accompanied by lots of great scenery. But, even at best, it is a trying experience. The riders are pestered by the elements, slow trains and the threat of getting caught. And don't even get me started about the noise. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to travel. It gives the viewer a chance to see the reclusive world of life on the rails.
