DAS BUS

KC and Das Bus

Das Bus is much more than a film about buses and those whose lives are shaped by Das Bus. This is also a story about a city whose center was hollowed out during "white flight" and now has only a tenuous connection through Das Bus to the city's miles of sprawl. As a native of KC, who lived there the first 40 years of my life, I see this flm as a poignant portrayal of my home town. March 25, 2005

Das Bus is Rolling!

A typical Ben Meade film, Das Bus will make you laugh and think at the same time. The film has a hardball political message wrapped in a fluffy coating of lighthearted fun. You will be laughing and clapping and singing along when Ben blindsides you with the reality of what has been lost in this city (or any city, for that matter!)due to ineffectual leaders and inept planning. The lump in your throat and the ache in your heart makes you wonder what just happened. You've just been run over by DAS BUS! March 22, 2005

Get on Das Bus, Gus

I caught this on Sundance this other night. It is a brilliant piece of work. My wife said, from the other room, "you want to watch a documentary on buses??". It's much more than that. It weaves together stories of riders and drivers , stories so full of color and pathos.. and the soundtrack, absolutely wonderful. The visuals are incredible as well. Das Bus is one of the best things I have seen in a long time. March 17, 2005
