Much of the movie will pay respect to the mighty Mississippi. People and Land transformed by Our Great River. For a very different take, visit Minneapolis. Minnesotans have pride in anything associated with Minnesota - witness Garrison Keillor. Therefore, Minnesotans will talk up the Mississippi. In reality, the Mississippi is simply a barrier to be crossed, no different than an old abandoned railroad yard. Visit the University of Minnesota during session, as the students dash from class on one side of the river to class on the other - they don't look down, they don't
look back.
