About the program

Revolutionizing modern life in America, the rise of the camera and the car has transformed the American experience from their earliest days. Take a road trip with Lutz as he cruises through powerful 20th-century works shaped by the open road—Depression-era documentary scenes, quirky roadside attractions, dreams of escape, and the magnetic allure of the Southwest desert.

Please note: The schedule of this program has changed—In Search of America will not be open for viewing after the lecture as originally planned.
