The month of April will feature HANDS ON A HARDBODY, the seminal Texas documentary that follows a group of contestants in Longview, TX as they compete to win a new Nissan "Hardbody" pickup truck…whomever can keep their hands on the truck the longest, wins! The re-release of the film is re-mastered with additional footage never seen before.

 

HANDS ON A HARDBODY

Directed by S.R. Bindler

In S.R. Bindler's 1997 cult classic, Hands On a Hardbody, two dozen small-town Texans compete for a brand-new "Hardbody" 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 Hardbody is more than a documentary about winning a truck. It is a remarkable study of competition, camaraderie, faith and determination-the ultimate human drama.
