The final film on YouTube makes no mention that the other man Matt was racing fled the country as he was an illegal alien. Krumlauf felt that this information had no merit to remembering the kindhearted spirit that was in Matt.
The film went through many iterations since its inception in 2013. It began as a short film, then became a feature following a brief dvd run on Amazon, then was recut into a free feature available now on YouTube.
