Driving along back roads alone, armed only with her camera, Davenport eloquently investigates the intersection between loss and national tragedy. She meets strangers who quickly become friends, revealing their most intimate and personal feelings about topics as diverse as love, nature, and war. Soon, the parallel lines in the asphalt begin to reflect the enduring themes along the highway of life, a road paved with sadness, humor, and genuine surprise.\" Docurama Films"@en . . . .

Nina does not interview victims, and she does not speculate whether a different configuration of struts and concrete, or indeed a different president, might have ensured that the Twin Towers didn't fall down. Nina is a smart interviewer, and there are many fantastic moments. More importantly, the film communicates the vastness of America and the great number of eccentrics to be found there." . .
