We chat with documentary filmmaker Dirk Wierenga about his new film Route 2 Elsewhere. A documentary about the joys and challenges of living in rural America through the lens of a 1500 mile stretch of US-2 from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the plains near Shelby, Montana. It is an area of booms and busts from fur trapping to mineral extraction to lumbering to agriculture--which built and fed our nation.
