Wow, that was a great ride, excuse the pun. The best kind of documentary, non-intrusive, filmed over a long period of time, wonderfully shot and bringing to light a way of life that the average citizen wouldn't even think about.

There is no agenda here, no voice-over narrative, no intrusive music, just a hands-off look inside the lives of a close-knit travelling carnival family and their extended family of workers as they travel around Australia, setting up, putting on the show, then packing up, trucking down the road and starting again in another town.

An excellent movie, fascinating and full of humanity.

Full of stunning footage and sincere emotions, this film is a reminder of the preciousness of planet Earth, the blue planet, the only planet so far discovered that can support complex life.

Made me stop and think about doing something more to help save the planet, instead of feeling defeated and apathetic, a state which is easy to fall into considering the state of the world, a world that is being destroyed by the endless greed of one single species.

This story is a gentle journey that unfolds with the natural flow of up-and-downs that we all experience. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for making this beautiful film.
