From the first shot of a little red truck motoring down a hot, dusty road to the last images of toothy kid grins, “The Little Red Truck” http://www.thelittleredtruck.com/ is a masterful, emotional tour de force.
This story of the Missoula Children’s Theatre http://www.mctinc.org/ , told in less than 100 minutes, will be the most talked-about film at this weekend’s Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.
Certainly among Missoulians, anyway.
And for good reason. Rob Whitehair and Pam Voth’s documentary sketches a picture of MCT’s national tours that no Missoulian has ever seen - and it’s a picture that will have you knee-deep in the magic and the mayhem of the tours, leaving you shaking your head in disbelief about the million miracles that happen around the world every year.
