20.02.2008 - Spider Rock in the de Chelly Canyon. A sacred place. This is where the Spider Woman is said to have taught the art of weaving to the first human. "Dineh" - human - is what the Navajos call themselves to this day. At 200,000 people, they are the largest tribe of native Americans. For the Navajo, their land is sacred.

20.02.2008 - Ever since people began building modern cities - with their concrete terrain and asphalt streets - young people have come up with new sports which adapt to this brave new world - sports like skateboarding and BMX. Parkour continues this tradition. Parkour is an urban sport. It lives from the city, from its cement constructions, its pedestrian bridges, its walls and fences, its multi-storey car parks, endless rooftops, balconies and stairs.

20.02.2008 - Dead as a doornail - the main street of Mamou, a little town in southwest Louisiana, with a population of 4,000. It's Saturday morning, just before 9. At first sight, the place looks sleepy. The stores are closed. Only the barbershop is open, as it has been every Saturday morning for the past fifty years, but there are no customers so far.

20.02.2008 - One o'clock in the morning at "Tramps" in New York. It's as full as the Cavern Club in Liverpool used to be when the Beatles played there. And now, with similar enthusiasm, the audience is waiting for one of the hottest acts on the Hip Hop scene: the Blastmaster of Rap - KRS One. KRS One: "Hip Hop is formed out of the necessity to have an identity in a society that doesn't recognize you.".

20.02.2008 - Wayne County Jail. The detention center in Detroit, Michigan. Two o'clock in the afternoon. Sheriff Althea Rene's shift is over. Since 6 in the morning, she's been supervising women detainees awaiting trial. Drug addicts, minor offenders, prostitutes. Althea doesn't love her job. But it gives her a steady income - money that she needs to live on.

20.02.2008 - The Keller Plantation in Louisiana. At one time, the radiantly white property of a white plantation owner. The paint is peeled off. Those days are gone. "You got to move ...". The Mississippi, cotton plantations, slave labour. Here, on the shores of the mighty American river, the Blues was born. The Blues is still alive today.

20.02.2008 - Nineteenth-century pioneers on their way to California were glad to leave this part of the country. Still, some did stay - fortune hunters, outlaws, adventurers, merchants and those who provided entertainment. The call of gold and silver had driven people - men, for the most part - to Nevada, to places like Calico, Belmont or Goldfield.

20.02.2008 - There is probably no better way to discover the diverse lifestyles the USA has to offer than to compare Hermann (Missouri) and San Diego (California). One is a small town with just over 2,600 predominantly white inhabitants, no cinema, no fast-food restaurants, no bowling alley but a thriving tradition of German sausage- and wine-making that dates back to the early 19th century.

20.02.2008 - Richard: "... and Taj Mahal will be there as well as the Lovin' Spoonful. So that's going on, it's free. It's in the park in the polo grounds on Sunday at 11. And you know, last week we had a great concert at the Avalon Ballroom and these guys were there to start it off - here are the Byrds ...". America's youth gravitates to the West Coast, to San Francisco.
