THEATRICAL

LA CAMIONETA
Emerging Visions, 2012
The New York Times hailed this documentary as "an upbeat story of resilience, regeneration and artistic imagination," and made it a critic's pick. It is the tale of a bus... a bus from Pennsylvania that makes its way to Guatemala. It's the story of the people who transport it in peril and the workers who refurbish and turn it into a work of art. It's a fascinating journey wrapped around a singular ride that extols the broader message that "We're all parts of something that keeps on living, aren't we?"
