In Production Part travelogue, adventure and coming-of-age story, season two of On the Road in America follows four young Arabs—two women and two men—as they embark on a quintessentially American rite of passage: a cross-country road trip. Like the acclaimed first season, this installment of On the Road will view America through the eyes of these young Arabs, while fostering cross-cultural exchange and understanding. The travelers are taking part in “typical” American experiences and gaining insights into formative events that shaped American culture. The people they meet, and adventures they have along the way, provide a unique look into the lives and experiences of Americans and act as catalysts for personal growth and acceptance. Through the prism of the cast's perceptions, Americans will develop a better understanding of Arabs and, hopefully, themselves. This season, cast and crew have already begun their journey in Los Angeles and are currently making their way to Washington, DC via the Southwest, deep South and the Mid-Atlantic states. Each location provides a context for exploring larger issues such as capitalism, poverty, faith, race relations and education. Our eclectic cast encourage dialogue on these important and complex issues, which must be faced by all young people in today's globally connected world. On the Road in America (Ala Al-Tariq fi Amrika) is Layalina's reality travelogue series produced in association with Visionaire Media of Los Angeles. Academy Award-nominated and multiple Emmy award-winning producer Jerome Gary is the series' creator, director and executive producer.
