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.
