Justine Shapiro kicks off the journey with a road trip west across the United States, following in the footsteps of the American Dream. Starting in Washington DC she follows the Blue Ridge Parkway to Nashville and Memphis, birth places of American country and soul. Justine takes a brief respite in Arkansas and then hits the legendary Route 66, stopping at a giant cattle auction in Oklahoma City. She then joins the ‘Trail of Tears’ memorial walk for Native Americans before crossing the Texas Panhandle into Arizona where she visits the world’s best preserved Meteor Crater.
