Following in the footsteps of Ilf and Petrov,
two Soviet writers who visited America in 1935
and described their experiences in the famous
book “One-Story High America”, Vladimir
Pozner and Ivan Urgant, two
of today’s most popular Russian TV personalities,
drive cross-country and back on a seven-week
trip to find out if and how the United States
has changed in the last 70 years.
Starting and finishing their journey in New
York, the filmmakers, their three High Definition
cameras, and a fleet of SUV vehicles, donated
by Ford Motor Company, visit twenty four states
and over forty cities in an attempt to capture
the true spirit of America.
Vladimir Pozner is Russia’s most celebrated
and respected TV journalist. He is President
of the Russian TV Academy and the host of “Vremena”,
Russia’s leading talk show on Channel
1.
