One of These Days (2020) (working title "Avalanche") is a drama film directed by Bastian Günther. Celebrated at its premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2020 and it came to German and Austrian cinemas in May 2022.
The real-life tragic event inspired an acclaimed 1997 documentary Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary (1997) and a Tony-nominated Broadway musical (both called "Hands on a Hardbody"); and, before he died in 2006, director Robert Altman talked about gathering one of his usual star-studded ensembles to turn the phenomenon into an Altman feature film version.The actual publicity stunt had been repeated every year for two decades straight in Longview Texas, until the 2005 edition took a horrible turn. But before it turned tragic, the "hands on" competition was the stuff of legend - the modern-day equivalent of the desperate Depression-era dance marathons depicted in the tragic They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) - giving ordinary folks an opportunity to change their lives: All you had to do was outlast everyone else, and the truck was yours.
