Overview
The Norton Simon Museum celebrates 100 years of “the Main Street of America”—Route 66—with four films that present a range of journeys, from a grueling migration to radical soul searching, along the famous highway between Los Angeles and Chicago. Each film features the California section of Route 66, one of the original highways in the United States. Films begin with an introduction by Joe Petricca, filmmaker, educator and organizer of the series.
