This bitingly funny
commentary about America's hubris in domestic and foreign policy
follows the cleverly imagined, two-century journey of explorers
Lewis and Clark from the Louisiana Purchase to the Spanish-American,
Vietnam and Iraq wars. Along the way they meet a variety of
"characters," including Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt,
Sacagawea, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld. But regardless of the
time period in which they find themselves, Lewis and Clark
continuously witness the disturbing role violence plays in shaping
the past, present and future of the United States.
