2013-2014 Press for GGG’s “The Greater Good: A Hitchhike Perspective”:
NJ.com article – Thumb’s the word
89.9FM – WKCR – NYC
Eye For Film – Edinburgh – “fascinating interviews”
Top Doc Films – “The truth is people are not terrified of you hitchhiking but they’re terrified of all the images that they’ve seen.”
Doc Storm – “The bottom line is that life is really enjoyable and if one puts away fear and takes the time to love people, others will join in because what we’re all really looking for is for someone willing to show us that it’s ok to love. If we spent more time looking for the good, in spite of the evil that may be present, there would be a major shift in the world.”
Doc Heaven – “explores the act of hitchhiking in a unique manner”
Doc Net – “Thomas takes you on his journey and meets various (world) lifters and people who frequently take hitchhikers”
Doc Tube – “Thomas is a young fella trying to show the public hitchhiking is nothing to be afraid of”
Kickass Trips – “The documentary does a great job at capturing the hitchhiking vibe and supposed dangers involved in traveling by thumb. The movie even got some great acclaim on seven international film festivals. Great watch. About a great bunch of people.”
Beatnik Hiway – “Some say that with hitchhiking you’re starting to lose prejudices about people, and you’ll lose the stereotypes about certain countries.”
34 Travel – “if you are planning a cool trip around Europe for the whole summer, and mom and dad are sure that on the way you will inevitably be robbed, shot and sent into open space, then sit them down to watch this video”
