Today Is For The Championship (1980)

Is This Film For You?

This propagandistic, race-car documentary is a vehicle for Werner Erhard (the founder of EST) to express his philosophy on motorized competition. Aphorisms and platitudes sprout up at every turn as the cars make their way around the track. Erhard and his group communicate in emotional terms when they do not win, filling the time between races with their viewpoints on life and living, and losing.
