American Road

The documentary feature examines the mystique of the road in American literature, art, and music. The film looks at how the motif has manifested throughout the nation's history, inspiring the creation of a lore in which ramblers, hobos, beatniks, and backpackers become iconic representations of the American soul. The wanderings of Mark Twain, Woody Guthrie, Jack Kerouac, and others are contextualized within their work and with historical events, while commentary on the road as a symbol of freedom and transformation is provided
