In S.R. Bindler’s 1997 cult classic, Hands On a Hard Body, two dozen small-town Texans compete for a brand-new “Hard Body” pickup truck at a local car dealership. The event is a contest of endurance and sleep-deprivation—whoever can remain standing the longest with one hand on the truck will get to drive it home. Capturing several days of lunacy, laughter, struggle and heartbreak, Hands On a Hard Body is more than a documentary about winning a truck. It is a remarkable study of competition, camaraderie, faith and determination—the ultimate human drama.
Available for the first time in ten years, this new edition of Hands On a Hard Body has been digitally remastered from the original tapes and includes over and hour of never-before-seen interviews.
