Strangers on the internet
In 2007, Matt Danzico engages in a massive project to show that strangers on the internet can be trusted -- and finds himself in the middle of nowhere with a broken-down bus and a stranger with a gun.
“There was another stranger epidemic going on, and I thought, god it's happening again. The same thing that happened in the 1980's was happening again. I thought, I will not stand for this.”
