Independent Lens: Goodbye Solo

On the lonely roads of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, two men forge an improbable friendship that will change both of their lives forever. Sunday, June 6 at 8:30 p.m. on UA Channel

An old man gets into a cab and asks for a one-way ride to his death. The driver agrees — unless he can talk him out of it.

Solo is a Senegalese cab driver working to provide a better life for his young family. William is a tough, Southern, good ol’ boy with a lifetime of regrets. One man’s American dream is just beginning, while the other’s is quickly winding down. But despite their differences, both men soon realize they need each other more than either is willing to admit.

Through this unlikely, but unforgettable friendship, Goodbye Solo deftly explores the passing of a generation, as well as the rapidly changing face of America.
