Their labors are repaid with a mesmerizing documentary full of touching characters and beautiful landscapes.Dog Man Tony is known for his unwavering honesty and fierce temper. New York Slim speaks in great parables. Joshua Long Gone and Horizontal John are a gray-bearded Huck and Tom. As these real-life characters and many others make their way to nowhere in particular, breathtaking cinematography (which earned top honors at the Slamdance Film Festival) captures a perspective of the United States -- spectacular sunsets over rocky peaks, vibrant green plains, desolate cityscapes -- that could only be seen from a rail car and sets it to haunting original songs by Tom Waits.The promise of freedom is as romantic as a Beat Generation travelogue, but real life for the train hoppers is far from ideal. They have run-ins with family members and police; they pick food from trash cans; and way too may are alcoholics and addicts. Yet they know they've been discarded by mainstream society, which makes their bond to one another that much stronger. Many are also former military men, and that experience is born out in the stories, rituals, and honor among them as their paths cross beside the tracks.Long Gone poignantly captures a marginalized homeless group for which misconceptions have far too often prevailed and shows that the yearning for community doesn't change much from person to person, even if the definition of community does. -Sean Fowler for the Tribeca Film Festival FESTIVALS & AWARDS Slamdance Film Festival Best Documentary Award/Best Cinematography AwardTribeca Film Festival Official SelectionMinneapolis/St. Paul Film Fest Best Feature Film / Best CinematographyYerevan Film Festival Cinematographer's AwardRiver Run Film Festival Best Director of Feature Documentary Savannah Film Festival Best Documentary Film VIEWER COMMENTS "This is by far the most worth-while documentary of it's kind made.""It was most definitely my favorite documentary of the decade, and soon to be a nearly impossible to find cult classic.
