ROAD SCHOLAR w/ Andrei Codrescu (trailer)

A full-length feature film chronicling the cross-country road trip of Andrei Codrescu, the romanian-born poet and NPR humorist. Released theatrically by the Samuel Goldwyn Company.

Andrei Codrescu, award-winning writer, humorist, and commentator on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," offers a humorous, ironic and uplifting look at the immigrant experience. Codrescu's journey to find his cultural identity leads him on a 4,500 mile road trip across country in a bright red 1968 Cadillac convertible. Having just learned to drive, Codrescu looks at the country through what he calls "two set of eyes: the ones looking at the New World from the vantage point of the old, and the ones looking at the old from the vantage point of the new."
