9. What about that 8-track movie....?
"So Wrong They're Right" is a 92-minute documentary shot on 16 mm film
encapsulating a 10,000 mile journey around the U.S. in search of a group of
8-track fanatics, or 'trackers' as they have been dubbed in the pages of
"8-Track Mind" Magazine, which serves as the principal inspiration for
the film. SWTR follows the travels of "8-Track Mind" Editor Russ
Forster and fellow 8-track enthusiast Dan Sutherland in search of
other 8-track minds. The result is over 20 interviews which delve in
to reminiscences, rants, political diatribes, fantasies, fix-it tips,
sales pitches, and everything else defining the skeptical yet
inquisitive mind of the '90s 8-track enthusiast. It's not a film about
nostalgia, as some might suggest; rather, it serves as a statement of
outrage from a population of consumers who are tired of being told what
to consume.
