![Storm chasing is portrayed as an extreme sport on television, but the reality is dramatically different. In 'Chasing Reality,' storm chasers talk about life on the road, their peculiar relationship with their cars, and the frustration, smells and miles that go into those few moments of seeing a tornado.
Chris Kridler, a storm chaser for 15 years, interviews chasers about their bizarre, humorous and mundane experiences against the backdrop of a typical chase day. Her documentary account, which she also narrates, is illustrated by the rapturous beauty of the Plains and intense moments confronting nature's violence in Tornado Alley.
This film won the Best Documentary award at the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival in Melbourne, Florida, in September 2011.](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjI2Mjk5MjczMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTA5Mzc2Ng@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,47,500,281_.jpg)
