View Profile ROUTE 66

Genre: Series

Synopsis:

North America’s Route 66 is a world-famous road that stretches from Chicago Illinois to Los Angeles in California. Referred to as the mother-road, it has become an icon of 1950’s Americana and is still considered one of the great road-trip routes in the US.

As the automobile began to replace railroad travel in the mid-1920s, Route 66 became a two-lane avenue that connected farm roads to industrial America. More and more people ventured along the route through the Great Depression, World War II, the era that was folk music and the emergence of rock n’roll. Single pump gas stations, drive-in movies, honky-tonks, truck stops and motels were the icons travellers saw along this route.

The series covers the complete story of Route 66 from folklore and history, through its de-commission, to its present status as an American national historic site. The production starts in Chicago and covers the entire road to Los Angeles, containing 78 interviews conducted over 8 states.
