American Nomads (2011)
BBC Documentary focusing on drifters, drop-outs, tramps and RV snowbirds, squatters, hermits, cowboys and Indians in the American Southwest. Very interesting stories on how and why many became nomadic, and what the lifestyle means; all done without judgment or glorification.

Better Late Then Never
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Very nicely done and easy viewing with decent un overpowering fitting music. Captures subtly the essence & spirit of this part of America with it' big wide open spaces,roads & desserts of the West also where people are drawn to pass through and experience. Richard Grant does a good job quietly and respectfully hosting this with good writing. A nice insight to some of the lives & stories from the Rodeos, the Preacher, the 'White Owls'/retired folk in their RVs, the freight train Vietnam Veterans and especially young Comfrey's and his unknowing destiny. Good viewing overall.
