TV Program: Independent Lens: American Made

Trapped in the middle of the desert on their way to the Grand Canyon, a Sikh-American family has only one hope: the occasional car that drives by on the remote highway. This drama confronts issues of tradition, faith, conformity and sacrifice after the family's youngest son accuses his turban-clad orthodox father of looking like a terrorist while stranded on a remote desert road.
