Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who like the journey more than the destination and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood
Light and funny, eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Features interviews with Matt Winston, Sandy Stone, Bruce Sterling, Jason Scott, Christina Agapakis, Trevor Paglen, Ryan Finnigan, Kit Stubbs, V. Vale, Sean Bonner, Allison Cameron, Josh Ellingson, Maggie Mayhem, Paolo Pedercini, Steve Tolin, Dan Wilcox, Jon Lebkowsky, Jan "Varka" Mulders, Adam Flynn, Abie Hadjitarkhani, Kelly Poots...
