What do you do if you want to really understand a country,
to understand its people and feel its heartbeat? You can
follow the rest of the tourists, or you can take the advice
of Watergate reporter Bob Woodward’s source, ‘Deep Throat’,
and ‘follow the money.’ Starting out in Lebanon, Kansas – the geographical centre of
America – journalist Steve Boggan did just that by setting
free a ten-dollar-bill and accompanying it on an epic
journey for thirty days and thirty nights through six states
across 3,000 miles armed only with a sense of humor and a
small, and increasingly grubby, set of clothes. As he cuts
crops with farmers in Kansas, pursues a repo-woman from
Colorado, gets wasted with a blues band in Arkansas and
hangs out at a quarterback’s mansion in St Louis, Boggan
enters the lives of ordinary people as they receive – and
pass on – the bill. What emerges is a chaotic, affectionate
and funny portrait of the real modern-day America.
