Hobo 1992 John T. Davis HD eng sub
Hobo is a travelogue of sorts, a portrait of life lived by homeless men on and off the railways in America. Davis spent three months travelling on the boxcars with his principal subject, Beargrease, who each year leaves his home to ride the rails and scavenge for food. It is a world mostly populated by men, many of them misfits, who for various reasons find life on the margins of settled society easier than being a part of it. The film confronts the romance and mythology created by the many songs about life as a hobo, but finds romance and beauty in the landscapes of the American west.
