Carts has something loud to say, but it never shouts. And it is not possible to imagine a film more perfect for this in-between Saturday. You'll not find a more subtle nod to yesterday's Earth Day or a more evocative pose for the WWJD? set just in time for their holiest of days.
Jesus Christ? If you've got your ears on, brother, give this one a look and then tell me: what the hell would you do?

I just don't know... Made it to 30 mins before I had to leave. I just don't know...
Left, came back, logged back in, finished it. Still at a loss for words.
As an alcoholic and a snowboarder i admire the men in this film and the man who made it. I can only watch and enjoy vicariously there curage and freedom. I really really loved the ending.

Wow. Just Wow on so many levels. Thank you for posting that.
How many people do you know who have everything yet all they do is complain and grouse and suck the light from all around them? Then you meet these men and fall upon your knees at their unflagging joie de vivre.
They don't have their hands out. They aren't heroes. They know how they arrived at this life. Yet their humanity is towering.
Freedom is a choice. We all live the way we want to live, regardless of what we say to others. Thanks Erin.
These guys definitely need a union. The work saftey issues are a huge problem. It's questionable whether or not minimumb wage is being met. The recyling industry is taking advantage of this downtrodden work force.

In other words, they're Canadian.
At some point I expected Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys to show up and provide expert commentary on the carts.
Bill, please put your wife on the phone. Thank you.
Dear Wife of Bill, please do something. Thank you.
You're back, baby! You've been un-banned by my place of employment. Will check out the docu. later this afternoon. At work, natch!
Lemme piss off Bill for a moment here: I'm a gov't employee and I plan on doing SHIT this week, sans hanging out on Twitter and Facebook, on your tax dollars. Muahahahahahaha!
Aiight, just kidding...I have tons of crap to do, but just wanted to give ya a scare.
Aw hell. I wish Alex wasn't kidding.
Erin: Ha
Swine: Ha
