Grainy black and whites taken in 1955-56 all across America. Candid photos of young and old, rich and poor, going about their lives. Parties, restaurants, drug stores, juke joints, city streets, country fields, in cars, on motorcycles, in coffins; everywhere the people are laid bare. You see that America has already become a car culture, that the rich are fat and the poor are thin, and everyone is constantly in motion.

The intro is by Jack Kerouac. Of course.
