Just as the original hobos of the early 20th century were scorned by the mainstream of society, so too are today's train riders. Over a year of traveling, the young train riders in Freeload seek adventure and answers on America's freight trains. Freeload is a dive into a beggar's existence - it is a ride through America's backyard - it is a musical endeavor that feels like a drama - it is a sociological examination of the ignored. The allure of the road is infectious. One never forgets freedom once felt.

Press Quotes

...Seductive one minute, repulsive the next.

     —Jane Marx, Framed Magazine

It is hard to imagine any documentarian coming as close to the beating heart of today's railroad hobo as Director Dan Skaggs and his team have done in FREELOAD.

     —Ted Conover

A beautiful film that captures voices too rarely heard, and what they say may change the way you think.

     —Revelation Perth Film Festival
