One of the great films produced using footage from the Henry Ford Collection at National Archives and featuring a soundtrack by famed composer Alex North, THE AMERICAN ROAD shows how the automobile has been an integral part of the American way of life for over a century. The film documents the birth of the automobile and the growing dependence upon vehicles and roads. Produced by Ford Motor Company, this film is an ode to one of the most important inventions in human history, and contains excellent information about the revolutionary Ford Model T. At times melodramatic, especially in the reenactments, this film presents an interesting look at the evolution of the automobile and the road. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit http://www.PeriscopeFilm.com
