This is no air conditioned indoor extravaganza, but a real traveling circus-with a canvas top and a muddy bottom. The Sullivan Brothers Circus spends more time on the road than in the vacant lots and fairgrounds that are its home for a day or two. That midnight caravan of trucks and trailers moving through the American landscape is as important to the story as the people it carries.
