About the Film
Desperate for tourism, hundreds of small towns across the U.S. claim "world's largest" things, from 15-foot fiberglass strawberries to 40-foot concrete pheasants. World's Largest visits 58 such sites and profiles Soap Lake, Washington’s five-year struggle to build the World’s Largest Lava Lamp.  By documenting these roadside attractions, World’s Largest captures the changing, perhaps even vanishing, culture of small-town America.
