At the risk of sounding like a salesman myself, if you get a chance to see this documentary, you should jump at it.

This up close look at the anxious Bible salesmen trying to close the deal has become a cult classic documentary.

Functions as both a tribute to their work ethic and a condemnation of the system that considers such a profession a healthy route to the American dream.

a stark, indelible cinematic portrait of the trials and tribulations of the door-to-door salesman, a profession that is virtually extinct today
