Obsessives: Soda Pop
John has turned his home into a shrine to soft drinks, with roughly 500 bottles and cans lined up on shelves, each one sourced from small producers scattered around the world. The film follows him through his collection as he explains how he tracks down obscure regional sodas before their makers go under, treating the hunt less like a hobby and more like a rescue mission. He talks about the makers themselves, tiny operations competing against Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and about his own role as a kind of matchmaker trying to connect these drinks with people who might actually buy them and keep the companies alive. The camera lingers on labels, flavors, and packaging most viewers have never seen, giving the film its texture. It is a short character study built around a single obsession, more interested in what drives John to keep collecting than in soda history itself.
