Acerca deste filme

In 2006, Matt VanDyke, a timid 28 year old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, left home in Baltimore and set off on a self-described "crash course in manhood". He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a three-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. While travelling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out in Libya, Matt joined his friend in the fight against dictator Muammar Gaddafi. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, Matt fought in - and filmed - the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held in solitary confinement for six months. Two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker, Marshall Curry, tells this harrowing and sometimes humorous story of a young man's struggle for political revolution and personal transformation. 2014 Marshall Curry Productions
