In 2005, filmmaker and truthout reporter Chris Hume took the nation’s pulse. He traveled to the forgotten corners of America, and let the people speak. In the pivotal year of 2008, he traveled even further. Chris and his partner Amy Sunshine Moon explored a country on the edge of financial ruin. Political gang colors aside, this is more of a celebration of a people as they struggle to survive in a harsh new landscape.
Short videos from the documentary will appear every few days. The full DVD is available for sale at www.redstateroadtrip.com. A portion of the proceeds will go to Truthout.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free, we need to raise $43,000 in the next 6 days. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
