True spirit of a man

Pigweed philosopher taught me to enjoy the ride of life. Happiness, purpose, or whatever life is, is not an advertisement dressed in a nice outfit or catchy phrase, but something deeper and more subtle. Kimball Johnson's appreciation, humor, and good-nature can teach us all something about our own life. His ability to stay positive, see good, and roll with the punches in his quest for making a movie taught me much about persistence and to appreciate the ride instead of the end goal. A well done documentary that should be seen by all people who value real raw insights into people's lives. The director seemed to let the story speak for itself instead of dictating it. Something that many documentaries miss now a days.
