    Amazing documentary about mobile living and life on the road
    This film by Ellen Spiro (Mobilus Media) is one of her best. I am her fan, I will admit. There is no filmmaker making docs today with more heart, soul, creative vision and sense of humor. This is a great doc for anyone but especially those interested in mobile living, airstream trailers and nomadic living. This film was shown on PBS and you could see it again by requesting that your local station rebroadcast it. I got my copy on the mobilus media website. You will not see better editing, cinematography and more interesting American characters in any film of the last few years. See it. You will laugh, cry and want to hit the road with a vengeance.
