Description

When the Saulnier sisters suffer one disappointment too many in their native France, they decide to pack up and try their luck in America. As journalists they have the run of the country, following stories that take them to places where most Americans have never been--from the back roads of Appalachia to an underground village of homeless people in the New York City subway system.
