Overview
ON THE ROAD WITH THE OLD STRIPPER is a journal about a filmmaker who takes an epic 48 state road trip over one summer with his Mother, a burlesque legend. Award-winning filmmaker Jack Truman and his real-life Mother, burlesque legend Opal Dockery, embark on an unforgettable 48 state cross-country road trip. On the road, Truman and Dockery experience epic memories: traveling to all 48 states nationwide coast to coast, including Washington, DC: visiting Opal's dancing cities from yesterday; going to landmarks nationwide; eating at over 20 vegan restaurants around the country; spending each night in cheap motel rooms; while also shooting over 100 hours of footage for a feature film documentary across the country, interviewing over 60 burlesque dancers nationwide, young and old, comparing burlesque now with how it used to be. An epic underground unforgettable journal, ON THE ROAD WITH THE OLD STRIPPER opens the reader's eyes to a fascinating life less traveled.
