Those bugs are so small and light, they'll drive through anything. Well, most things anyway. Also super simple to maintain.

Academy Award nominated director Hubert Davis investigates the incredible history of a 1955 Volkswagen Beetle through each of its drivers. Dating back to the original owner, three remarkable solo trips around the world are just the start of the story. As much as it is a story about the people connected by one machine, it's also an observation of our enduring fascination with the automobile.
