In 1792, John Evans, a farmhand from Snowdonia travelled to America to discover whether there was a Welsh-speaking Native American tribe walking the Great Plains. Over 200 years later, distant relative Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) retraces the explorer's route through the continent by means of an investigative concert tour.

A gilded bio of the legendary balladeer, Woody Gutherie, and his hobo existence in 1930s depression-hit America.

Once the sensuous couple have crossed to Africa a distinct darkening of tone makes for a compelling film, especially a shamanistic Sufi trance scene which provides an exhilarating climax. The music, which embraces techno, Andalusian flamenco et al, is both magnificent and crucial to the narrative, following the scenery as the pair uncover their roots and themselves. find out more...
