| A Nostalgic
Ride Down America's Mother Road from
Chicago to L.A. |
Most
Route 66 videos focus on a
nostalgic history of Route
66 and an upbeat look at what
has become an American icon.
This one doesn't.
This documentary, produced
by a British company, looks
at the road through the eyes
of an outsider. Never sugarcoating
what they find, the producers
are drawn to the surprising
or odd. Without narration,
the video soundtrack consists
of snippets from an AM car
radio, interviews with individuals,
and music either discovered
live on the road or reflecting
the region being travelled. |
