After losing everything, Desiree Wood takes a second lease on life as a long-haul truck driver. Alongside an irreverent group of women truckers, she fights for a life on the road. Using an intimate and observational approach, DRIVER captures the experience of Desiree and her fellow drivers within a system that routinely promises and denies them the safety and autonomy that they desire. The film follows Desiree as she struggles to balance the demands of being a working driver with her ambitions as the head of a driver-led movement run from her truck, which is constantly at risk of being repossessed. In a rapidly disappearing American labor landscape, Desiree and her sisterhood of truckers rally against the crushing forces of an industry that is indifferent to their survival.

Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film While the women’s relationship with one another may be strong as houses, Azimi opens a window to the precarity of the industry. Rated: 4/5 Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail The beauty of Azimi’s approach is how it brings the viewer along in gentle harmony with her protagonists. We watch, listen, and form our own judgments. Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla An intimate immersion into the highs and lows of the trucking world [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest A road movie with a strong sense of direction, it is an intimate seat inside the cabs of women truck drivers. Amidst sunrises, sunsets, scenery, and seasons, we hear them in person and on a help line reveal abuses, stresses, and difficult conditions. Rated: 7/10 Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The pacing becomes key, with Azimi and Borel embracing the gentle rhythms of a cross-country drive as the film patiently comes into focus. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat In both content and form, Driver is a commanding exploration of what it means to be a woman in a male-dominated field.
