A few people try to rip the trader off (one lady with a bag of potatoes that is light, an old woman wanting free handouts.) He is resolute in the face of such troublesome individuals. He drives his van very sensibly without going over the speed limit or allowing the film crew to distract him. The old man who says he wants to move away but is "too old" is kind of a malcontent who I imagine would be miserable wherever he went. The kid who wants to be a journalist is much more interesting although he is too shy to actually speak on camera. I would have liked to get more insight into the card game at the end as we are left somewhat in suspense. Who won? Were they gambling for cash or potatoes?
