At first glance the Midwest region of the United States may appear to be just a patchwork quilt of cornfields speckled with an occasional barn or factory, but this north central region of the United States represents the essence of America's history and rich cultural diversity. Traveller Justine Shapiro embarks on a journey through America's "heartland". Beginning in Chicago, she heads down Route 66, stopping off at Springfield, Illinois before heading on to Berlin, Ohio - home to an Amish community. From there she takes a short flight to Detroit, Michigan, home of Motown music, before ending her journey in the great outdoors at Lake Superior and Deer River.
