Salesman

This documentary is an interesting look into the lives of a few bible salesmen who are trying to make a living. The main character, Paul Brennan, travels around New England and some of florida, then attends a meeting in Chicago. Paul is struggling to meet quotas for sales of these expensive bibles. It shows a clear and unedited look into the life of a american door-to-door salesman searching for the "dream" of a honest hard work and a pay check at the end of the month. This film was inspired by cinema vérité  and the idea of recording and documenting something real and truthful.

This documentary has won many awards in the past but still provides material for intellectual discussion today. We, as Americans should embrace our culture and history to help guide us in our future. Even though I usually don't watch documentaries for fun I am glad that we were able to watch this and learn something new.
