Howard Fineman describes R.J. Cutler's documentary as “disturbing.” He says it was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it will be shown on CBS's Showtime, March 15 at 9:00 p.m. I checked amazon and they don't have a listing for it, so it may not have come out on DVD yet.

The film has the dreadful fascination of a road trip you know ends in a car wreck.
