| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperThis is an innocent project: as a rarity among documentaries, it seems to have no axe to grind. |
| User ReviewCaleb JWouldn't it be cool if documentary filmmakers went around interviewing interesting people about religion, politics and other stuff WITHOUT forcing their own agenda? Oh wait, this movie does just that, and it's freaking inspiring! |
| User ReviewSuzanne AThis American Journey is an awesome documentary on America. Travel coast to coast with Paul Blackthorne and Mister Basquali and find out why America is the country it is. This film tells it like it is, no sugar coating or painting over bad spots. Yet is shows the beauty of the land and the people who live on it. I'm glad I purchased the DVD because not only will I share it with my friends but I will watch it again myself! |
