Catching Out DVD

The phrase "Catching Out" describes the act of hopping a freight train. In three interwoven stories, Catching Out follows three contemporary hobos—a seasoned eco-activist named Lee, a young nomad named Jessica (author of the classic Transient Ways available via AK), and a tramp couple known as Switch and Baby Girl—as they navigate between the constraints of society and the freedom of the rails. The film explores Lee's intimate connection with nature and Jessica's bohemian upbringing. Meanwhile, Switch and Baby Girl confront society as they retire from the rails to raise their son Isaiah.
"A lyrical meditation upon a vanishing American lifestyle, it's history, lore, and traditions and the attraction it continues to hold for young people today, especially those who have not found a niche in conventional society or are seeking an alternative to our increasingly numbing and monolithic consumer culture." —Boston Herald
