A new miniseries sponsored by Mitsubishi tracks altruist and documentary filmmaker Erika Gilsdorf’s year-long trek across America. During the trip, Ms. Gilsdorf stops to meet with and learn from hard-working, change-making small business owners. The series also showcases how versatile the Outlander plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle (PHEV) can be for green vehicle advocates and owners who need to travel long distances while towing.

“Mitsubishi Motors applauds those who aren’t afraid to pursue their own path,” said Mark Chaffin, Chief Operating Officer, MMNA. “Erika Gilsdorf is one of those people. Her mission to find and document the stories of other change-makers really resonated with us, and the Outlander PHEV, which blends quiet, efficient EV technology with the capability of an SUV, is the perfect companion for her epic eco-tour. Through our partnership with Emergent Media, we’ve created a meaningful documentary series that is as inspiring and hopeful as it is unscripted and authentic.”
