Homeless Brother
VHS, 30 min., 1980
Woody Guthrie wrote about them and walked the same road; so did Jack Kerouac. Dylan commiserated in his song, "I am a lonesome hobo, without family or friends." Contemporary hoboes in Arkansas speak of their lives, share their tin-can-culture with you, and wave goodbye as they hop the eternal freight at sunset. A sensitive look at some fascinating men and women.
