Just a Few Debts France Owes to America

Episode 3 of 3

Jonathan looks at how the French delude themselves that they are indifferent towards the USA, despite huge evidence of cultural indebtedness.

'Go home yankee - but take me with you.' The French delude themselves that they are indifferent towards the USA, yet all around them there is blatant evidence of the country's cultural indebtedness to American architecture, American sprawl, American music and American fast food. The Atlantic coast of western France might be the Atlantic coast of the eastern United States. A sort of road movie that contains scenes of musical embarrassment, so be prepared to wince.
