Viva con Agua Tramprennen 2009 - Hitchhike Race Movie

Watch the movie here: http://vimeo.com/7858456

In summer 2009 34 people organized in 14 teams hitchhiked from Kiel [Northern Germany] to Dubrovnik [Southern Croatia]. The 2300km long trip was a 6-stage hitchhike race. Apart from the obvious fun of hitchhiking, it was meant to promote the Hamburg-based drinkwater initiative "Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli" which drills wells in places where clean potable water is not an easily available resource.

During Tramprennen 2009 the teams passed through Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Croatia, spreading thousands of information flyers, giving interviews to different German radio stations from the states of Hamburg, Berlin and Schleswig-Holstein and flashmobbed in the city center of Linz [Austria].

This film is an attempt to sum up the two week journey. The camera was given to a different team every stage, hence the diverse perspectives and pictures. With it, we'd like to further support Viva con Agua, spread it's name and last but not least promote and spread the beauty and fun of hitchhiking.

are you talking about "The Trip" (www.thetrip09.ch) ?

because it sounds very much like it, only with many wrong details.
