The Blue Ridge Parkway: A Long and Winding Road

Documentary filmmaker Bruce Bowers and Bowers Media Group, Inc., present a film entitled, The Blue Ridge Parkway: A long & Winding Road. Many books have been published about the Parkway but Bowers’ historical documentary is first to report a stunning secret deal that determined the route of the Parkway and altered the course of American history.

The documentary also takes a fascinating look at the people along the Parkway corridor and addresses how the scenic road affected their lives and cultures. It may be surprising to some that the Parkway was not universally welcomed and many people fought it with varying degrees of success.

This documentary is definitely no travelogue and has been guided both by noted Ph.D. historians and by many ordinary people who helped to build the Parkway. The Parkway changed lives in unexpected ways.
