WESTBOUND: A DOCUMENTARY
dir. Jim Rivett
USA, 2010, Digital, 77min

"Westbound...the journey of a lifetime."
A man’s final confessions of a life filled with joy, heartache, and addiction. This is an iconic American tale of 96-year-old Adolph Vandertie – Grand Duke of the Hobos. Westbound chronicles his struggle to achieve personal redemption by creating an astonishing collection of hobo whimsies and tramp art carvings.
