Blue Highways: Voices of the Other America plot
“Blue Highways” is a journey through rural America that is inspired by the book of the same name by the part Native American writer William Least-Heat Moon. Blue highways were the B-roads on maps in the 1950s that connected the smaller, more isolated villages and towns. Over the years, these places have come to represent a more authentic version of America, a collective fantasy of the country that has existed for more than two generations. “Blue Highways” is a journey through the American province: from the northwest to the deserts of the south; from the immense plains of Texas to the Midwest, ending in the wetlands of Louisiana and the sea off Florida.
