Along for the Ride
Along for the Ride explores the highs, lows and phoenix-like ascension of iconic Hollywood maverick Dennis Hopper--as seen through the eyes of his longtime right-hand man and devoted friend, Satya dela Manitou. Nick Ebeling's debut feature film chronicles the unlikely duo's incredible 40+ year journey and enduring bond, as intimately complex as Hopper's own legendary career.
