Route 66 is more than a highway - it's a journey through America's heart, history, and dreams. Discover the legends, people, and places that shaped the Mother Road.
In this immersive documentary, we travel nearly 4,000 kilometers along the iconic Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles. Experience the vibrant diversity of Chicago, the birthplace of the highway, and see how its cultures, music, and food set the stage for a legendary road trip. Meet local characters like Marty Sammons, who brings Chicago blues to life, and the Wildmyer family, who keep the corn dog tradition alive at their classic Cozy Dog diner.
As we head through Illinois and Missouri, you'll uncover the rise and fall of small towns and businesses impacted by the advent of interstates. Visit nostalgic landmarks like vintage petrol stations and motels, explore the thriving community of classic car enthusiasts, and step inside the historic Skyview drive-in theater. Learn about the transformation of cities like St. Louis, where industry has faded but a vibrant arts and music scene is on the rise, with local voices like rapper Tef Po sharing their stories.
Delve into the deeper past at Cahokia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and meet families in the Ozarks who embody the enduring pioneer spirit. Enjoy bluegrass jam sessions and heartfelt reflections on community, resilience, and the American dream.
