| Summary |
A film investigating and following the cross-country journey of photographer Robert Frank, the work ultimately featured in Frank's book "The Americans". Séclier interviews those who knew and worked with Frank, and invites others to consider Frank's journey in its original context, to read the images, the symbols and representations as if through the eye of the traveller himself. |
