Director: Adam McClaughry
On the Roam is a 2024 American documentary short from director Adam McClaughry, running 45 minutes and streaming with Persian dubbing on K-Time.
What is On the Roam about?
Rather than chase a single subject, this short film hops between corners of American craft and creativity, checking in with people who build things by hand and chase sound, speed, or feeling for a living. Musicians and motorcycle builders share screen time with athletes and tradespeople, each given just enough room to explain what pulled them into their work. The pacing is loose and conversational, closer to a road trip than a lecture, and the film leans on faces and workshops rather than narration to carry its momentum. At 45 minutes it never overstays its welcome, moving on before any one story wears thin.
Cast & crew
Adam McClaughry directs a cast of contributors led by Rashida Jones and Bill Murray, alongside Marlon Wayans, Jessica Henwick, and Jenny Slate, with Liyanna Muscat, Alexandra Mary Reimer, and Anna Reimer rounding out the roster of voices featured throughout.
Context & significance
Documentary shorts like this rarely make it into Persian-language libraries, so its presence here gives Iranian diaspora viewers a rare chance to sample a slice of American subculture — craftspeople, riders, and musicians — filtered through their own language rather than subtitles alone.
