About the film
Nathan and Paul are celebrating the 100 Anniversary of America's oldest road by spending two weeks driving from Navy Pier to Santa Monica Pier, living out of their car, and meeting the people who keep the road rolling. Join us for an incredible adventure, the story about the road that shaped the country, and inevitably the ups and downs of our travels.
The feature documentary is shooting right now, and you can be a part of it on November 11th, 2026, at Santa Monica Pier for the Anniversary! This film is already in production and will be released in 2027.
