Product Description

After college, Eric Saperston bought a 1971 Volkswagon Bus, took his Golden Retriever Jack, and set out to follow the Grateful Dead and work a ski season in Aspen. While out on the road, he called up some of the most powerful and influential people in the world and asked them out for a cup of coffee. What started out as a personal journey to find the answers to life's biggest questions - Why am I here? How can I find happiness? What is success? - quickly turned into something much bigger than he ever had imagined. As the journey unfolded, it attracted the attention of three others: Dave Murcott, Paige O'Brien and Kathleen Kelly. They too felt disconnected and were searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. So they quit their jobs, risked it all and jumped in the bus. One man's summer vacation quickly turned into four people's vocation. This team of eager travelers meandered across the country, from Atlanta, Ga., to Seattle, Wash., shot 500 hours of footage and interviewed more than 200 people in search of wisdom and inspiration from the famous and not so famous.

"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." --Chinese proverb

Truly Inspirational
I finally had the opportunity to watch this movie after several attempts by friends who had seen it at their college campus. I didn't understand what the hype was about until I sat down and watched the film. Talk about a movie that speaks to each and every individual who watches it. Truly incredible. I wish I would have seen this movie 10 years ago as the knowledge and wisdom that I walked away with was very inspirational. The concept of the film is simple but what you take away from it is truly the grand prize. The slew of people that he got the opportunity to interview was staggering and their willingness to open up and offer their views of success and finding happiness in life, was encouraging. Do yourself a favor...buy this film and share it with those you love. It's the little things in life that keeps you strong.

Screening
I saw a screening of this movie in Manhattan I believe 2 years ago - roughly October 2001. It was a very unexpected ride through their journey meeting with Henry Winkler(I won't say too much else)a few barriers and alot of interesting steps along their way. This movie is definitley worth picking up and watching with a few friends. Everyone will get something out of this film.

Really makes you think. Really makes you thankful.
What a treat. I haven't seen many films in my life that make you feel empowered. The Journey causes you to look in the mirror and say "What am I doing and where am I going?" I only wish I could have seen it earlier in my life, but as I came to see - the rest of my life begins with my next step. The special features are great and the menu interface really rivals some of the best ones I have ever seen. No matter who or where you are, you will truly enjoy The Journey.
