The Bus

"God I can understand people who'd kill their children rather than have them live like this."

Filmmaker Morgan Dews was very close to his grandmother Allis, but it wasnt until after her death in 2001 that he became aware of an astounding archive shed amassed throughout the 1960s. Filled with startlingly intimate and candid audio recordings detailing her familys increasingly turbulent lives, the collection also contained hundreds of silent home movies, photographs and written journals. Using only these found materials, Dews has fashioned a searing family portrait that affords fly-on-the-wall access to one familys struggles amid an America on the verge of dramatic transformation.

This looks fantastic, like Revolutionary Road in documentary form.
