Overview

A Day at the Goat Races is a sidesplitting, revolutionary, and in-depth look at this unusual American event held annually in Falmouth, Pennsylvania, in the shadows of Three Mile Island's smokestacks. The documentary film guides you through the day's activities and includes a unique cast of characters: the event's "founding fathers," vampire goats, processed meats, the mysterious ice-cream man, a Viking, an exchange student from Finland, a peculiar clown, and a tenfold increase in the goat population in Central Pennsylvania compared with any other day in the calendar.
