From Missouri to California, Mother Road journeys along iconic Route 66 during its Centennial, weaving together intimate encounters to create an offbeat portrait of modern America and the communities, contradictions, and everyday lives that shape it. 

Set against the backdrop of plentiful Route 66 Centennial celebrations, the film uses one of America's most iconic highways as both a physical symbol and a narrative thread, asking how the places we inhabit shape who we become, and how this particular moment in history feels for the people living through it. Mother Road documents the fascinating residents who call the highway home and the unique roadside communities, some renowned and others largely forgotten, that dot the shoulders of the meandering asphalt ribbon.
