America on the Road
- 1984 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
- (Walk through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers, A series, Part 11) In 1908, the first Model T automobile rolled off the assembly line and the new dream machine took America down the highway and towards the future. Bill Moyers shows that that future would hold not only a means of transportation but a new vision of ourselves. Film clips, stills, songs and poetry trace America's transformation into a mobile-based culture, complete with shopping malls, fast foods, suburbia, carhops, Okies, dragstrips, pollution, traffic jams and an auto-based economy. (Deposited by Chevron U.S.A.)
