Alcan Highway
Description
Uses the recollections of workmen and extensive photos and footage taken all along Alcan Highway to document how 11,000 soldiers--nearly 4,000 of them black--bulldozed their way into engineering history. The road stretches 1,500 miles from British Columbia to Fairbanks, Alaska and traverses difficult and hostile territory, crossing the Canadian Rockies, raging rivers and dense forest.
