About this movie

Darius McCollum has a love of transport that has led to him being jailed 32 times, spending 23 years in prison – despite never harming any person or property. Suffering from Asperger’s syndrome, over 3 decades Darius has commandeered New York buses and subway trains, only to correctly drive their routes and announce the stops. A remarkable story of society’s failure to channel the harmless passions of a mentally challenged man into a productive life.
