Route 66 - Im Herzen Amerikas (2012)

Overview

In the middle section of the legendary Route 66, in Oklahoma and Texas, the remains of the old highway run through small, prosperous towns. Here, America appears the way it prefers to see itself. The fear of God is part of everyday culture in the "Bible Belt". Even petrol stations serve the mission. Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the largest charismatic Christian university in the world. The more than 3,000 students are forbidden to have sex before marriage and homosexuality and consider Darwin's theory of evolution to be the devil's work. But Route 66 also leads through the land of cowboys. Oklahoma City and Amarillo are home to two of the largest cattle markets in the USA. Saloon style steakhouses are the attraction of the area. They offer a special test of courage, the consumption of a two-kilo steak. If you manage it within an hour, you are a guest of the house.
