(60 mins)
 


 
   



   
    IN THE TANK EAST and IN THE TANK WEST are two thirty-minute (or one sixty) documentaries, focusing on award-winning filmmaker Robert Parish’s unique discoveries and offbeat adventures along the four-lane and two-lane highways of the USA. 

Shot over two years, Parish and his vehicle (an eyecatching Inferno Red PT Cruiser) logged over 30,000 miles, very often venturing where no electronic journalist has ever left tire tracks. 

Sometimes poignant…sometimes humorous…sometimes bizarre… 

From a roadside entrepreneur in Maryland who sells Statue of Liberty Replicas made from recycled Soviet Communist aluminum…to the former Mayor of a  small town in Texas who is intimately familiar with the fascinating history of old  Route Sixty-Six…to the restaurateur in Mount Rushmore who stakes her claim to the best buffalo burgers east of the Little Big Horn…to an autistic six-year old in North Carolina who creates crayon masterpieces said to rival Picasso’s in composition and complexity. 

Other not-to-be-missed stopovers include Seattle, Santa Fe, Boulder, Oklahoma City, Field of Dreams Iowa, and Shanksville Pennsylvania. 

So come along for an unforgettable automotive journey like none other…IN THE TANK.
