North Country Film Festival Documentary Winner "The Junkmans Son" is a film about one mans conviction to live life the way he wanted to do it. He began to live his life as a young teen outside of the constraints of his own family values and lived on the edge basically his entire life up until he was (at least) 30. As we watch the documentary we discover some of the things that have molded his inner being. This is a very interesting documentary about a young man who determines that his destiny is to get a contract with a major blues label doing his own thing his own way. He takes a lot of bad turns along the way and doesn't always take good advice but at least it appears real. It's also interesting that he had the forsight to film a good lot of it as he was in progress. There were parts of the movie that I didn't understand culturally but I do like slices of life and this was one huge slice.
I'm glad that I had the opportunity to watch this film and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see what conviction to a goal is all about.
Well Done!
