Follow raconteur Garrison Keillor — and his crew of actors, musicians and technical staff — as he criss-crosses the country, broadcasting, recording and revealing himself.
Lake Wobegon - where the women are strong, the men are good looking
and all the children are above average - has become America's
collective hometown, visited weekly for the past 40 years on a
fictional radio program that creates bona fide nostalgia. With his
"Prairie Home Companion," Keillor became our national philosopher,
filling the empty shoes of Will Rogers and Mark Twain, through his
running commentary about the human condition and the social
politic. With biting wit, a quirky perspective and an uncanny
ability to home in on the pulse of America, Keillor's themes and
characters are somehow familiar to us all. For more than a year,
AMERICAN MASTERS followed this great raconteur - and his motley
crew of actors, musicians and technical staff - as he criss-crossed
the country, broadcasting, recording and revealing himself.
