Crossroads of a Nation, Part III: Missouri’s Rhythm, Roads & Roots explores how the state’s cultural contributions shaped the American identity. From the freedom of Route 66 to the soulful sounds of blues, jazz and country, from the smoke of barbecue pits to the rise of baseball and beer, Missouri became a stage where everyday traditions grew into national symbols. Through stories, music, and imagery, this film reveals how the heart of Missouri continues to beat at the center of American culture.
