Road trip. Hitchhiking adventure. What could go wrong.

In 1972, filmmaker Ron Osgood set out on a road trip through Northern California that quickly turned into an unexpected hitchhiking adventure. For decades, he shared the story from memory, until he rediscovered an audio cassette he had recorded to preserve its details. That discovery inspired him to retrace and investigate what truly happened. I Do Remember weaves memory and evidence into a timeless question: where does the truth lie?
