Another Fine Mess

Lacking even the most basic mechanical knowhow Tim Moore sets out to cross Trumpland USA in an original Model T Ford. Armed only with a fan belt made of cotton wooden wheels and a trunkload of 'wise-ass Limey liberal gumption' his route takes him exclusively through Donald-voting counties meeting the everyday folks who voted red along the way. He meets a people defined by extraordinary generosity willing to shift heaven and earth to keep him on the road. And yet this is clearly a nation in conflict with itself: citizens 'tooling up' in reaction to ever-increasing security fears; a healthcare system creaking to support sugar-loaded soda lovers; a disintegrating rust belt all but forgotten by the warring media and political classes.
