Editorial Reviews

Five outgoing reporters with mental and physical disabilities hit the road, traveling coast to coast in a hand-painted RV, interviewing everyone they meet. Follow the news team as they explore honky-tonk bars in Nashville, alligator farms in Arkansas, the Grand Canyon and the wild streets of America’s cities and towns. Unassuming, funny, and genuine to the core, this is not your typical news show.

• Awards include Official Selection of the Toronto International Film Festival; Winner—Audience Award and Best Feature—Just For Laughs Film Festival; Winner—Best of Festival and Audience Award—Woods Hole Film Festival.

• The film had a limited theatrical run and debuted in 2002 as part of the Cinemax Reel Life series. It has been rebroadcast several times.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL MOVIE, June 23, 2004

This review is from: How's Your News? (DVD)

I promise that you have never seen a movie like this. It will change your life, seriously. It's funny, but in a good way. These five reporters ask the greatest questions and you will not soon forget their adventures in travelling across America. To call it a disability film is one thing, but it's more than that, and not as sappy as the ones we usually see. CHECK IT OUT!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly excellent experience, August 21, 2004

JMC SLP (Waldorf, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How's Your News? (DVD)

There aren't many movies out there with the honesty, heart, and good humor that this one has. These are people of tremendous courage and their experiences provide a unique insight into human nature across the spectrum. We should all be so lucky to have such joyful spirits, or enthusiasm for our work, or willingness to reach out to others. Tremendous kudos to the How's Your News team. I look forward to seeing more of your reporting -- and especially the Democratic National Convention!

Even if I wasn't a special educator, this movie would still be absolutely amazing and inspiring. It is absolutely a must see. The 5 individuals in this movie have such wonderful spirits. I loved this movie and wish everyone involved with this film long careers in the industry!
