| 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.
