Description

Located along a stretch of land in Fresno, California sits a row of historic motels. Once a vibrant destination for vacationing families and world-class performers is now home to sex workers, veterans, and more than 130 families.

Inside this world, the Shaw family grapples with housing insecurity and addiction while raising their young son Justin. Soon, the largest infrastructure project in U.S. history is unveiled: the California High-Speed Rail that will cut directly through Motel Drive. This years-long project promises a bold, new future for Californians — but at what cost for the less fortunate?

Filmed over a 7-year period, Motel Drive is a stunning indictment on America’s never-ending housing crisis, substance abuse and the real-world struggles of one family as they strive for the most basic of needs — a stable life.

    Great documentary about the people

    Great documentary about the people living on Motel Drive in California and especially on the Shaw family and what they went through. Pretty depressing at times but it looks like the kid pulled through in the end. Nice Q and A as a bonus too. Great release.

    Quietly Devastating

    Motel Drive is a small but powerful documentary, observed with patience and real empathy. It never feels exploitative, even when the lives it follows are painful to watch. A thoughtful, grounded release that gives this corner of America the time and attention it deserves.
