On the heels of the 2016 presidential election, American ultrarunner Rickey Gates established off on foot across the U.S. to see much more of the country during a period of extreme political turmoil and deep divides. From Dean Leslie and Wandering Fever, TransAmericana follows Gates on a five-month and practically 3,seven hundred-mile trip from South Carolina to San Francisco.
