After losing everything, Desiree Wood takes a second lease on life as a long-haul truck driver. Alongside an irreverent group of women truckers, she fights for a life on the road. While this line of work brings socially precarious circumstances and solitude, these women undertake their jobs with an air of gallows humor and steely commitment to their work.
Nesa Azimi’s soulful and contemplative Driver follows Desiree as she strives to leave her tumultuous past behind and navigate toward a more hopeful and stable future. Azimi implements honesty and grounded reality in her storytelling — all while keeping these women’s agency and determination intact. Through this intimate approach, Driver becomes a microcosm of the broken-down but resolute American labor force and investigates this sensitive topic with understated yet deeply felt, empathetic filmmaking.
… A simply-made gaze into an overlooked culture, one deserving of far more respect than it’s received and one that Azimi has captured beautifully.” –The Playlist
