This true story reveals the often-filthy secrets behind their make-shift society, taking you inside this counter-culture movement that is always on the move.

Despite their deep disillusionment, Dirty Kids talk of wanderlust and freedom, embracing the idealistic ethos of the open road, just like Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac before them.
