"More breakdowns. More problems." A new trailer has debuted for a documentary titled Hitchhiking to the Edge of Sanity, from director Scott Petersen (Out of the Loop, Scrabylon). The film tells the story of two friends who had an incredible life-changing experience traveling in the 1970s. "Shaken loose from their Kansas roots by the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement, the new age of psychedelic drugs and the incipient revolutions challenging America, Dick Russell and Steve Ewert embarked on their own challenge: hitchhiking 4,000 miles across the Algerian Sahara into the heart of emptiness… The discovery at the end of their journey: all politics are personal." It's what it is. Hitchhiking to the Edge of Sanity recalls their story of adventure, disillusionment, curiosity, breakdowns and, ultimately, friendship. This makes me think of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but with different kinds of drugs, and with the Sahara Desert instead of Vegas. ›››
