Post Screening Discussion With Director
   
  Loosely based on the novel of the same title by the American Indian writer, William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways is a trip into rural America. Blue Highways literally stands for the secondary roads indicated on maps in the 1950’s which connected smaller and more isolated communities and towns. The film is a trip through untouched landscapes, past old ghost towns and into today's malls and other such ‘non-places’. It is a fascinating portrait of rural America in the Bush era.
