The Journey
2001, NR, 93 min.
Directed by Eric Saperston.

After Eric Saperston graduated from college he decided to seek out successful members of the previous generation in order to ask them the following questions: Why are we here, does love last, and what might they have done differently in their lives? Traveling in a VW bus, Saperston picks up some more crew members along the way. In addition to interviewing strangers on the street, Saperston also wrangles his way into interviewing numerous famous people, including Ann Richards, Billy Crystal, the founder of Home Depot, the CEO of UPS, Jimmy Carter, and Henry Winkler.
