State of America Part Two

BBC News - The Travel Show, State of America Part Two

Rajan Datar travels to the West Texas borderlands, Tucson in Arizona and Los Angeles.

In part two of this transcontinental trip for BBC World News' State of America season, Rajan Datar travels to the West Texas borderlands, Tucson in Arizona and Los Angeles.

In part two of this transcontinental trip, Rajan Datar travels to the West Texas borderlands and visits a tiny town that has become an unlikely oasis for art. Rajan also visits Tucson in Arizona, an area shaped by the Cold War and the only place in the world where tourists can get close to an intercontinental nuclear missile. Native American heritage is also a vibrant part of the state's history, and Rajan treks through a site of ancient rock paintings and meets the laser artist who is campaigning to preserve them. On the way to his final stop, Los Angeles, Rajan visits Palm Springs, the desert city which Hollywood celebrities once escaped to from their studios and now a mixed population of retirees, LGBT activists and Islamic converts all live their version of the American Dream.
