Riding the Highline is this raw, intimate glimpse into the lives of poet brothers Kai and Anders Carlson-Wee as they ride freight trains from Minneapolis to Wenatchee.

The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the sights and sounds of the railroad life. It's not just about the journey; it's the poetry of the rails, the brotherhood, and those quiet moments of introspection.
