Panamericana is a 2010 documentary about the life at the longest road on Earth: a road-trip from Mexico to Argentina through 12 countries and for 13,000 kilometers.

Plot

One street, two continents, three months, 12 countries and 13,000 kilometers. The adventure begins in Laredo (USA) and documents a trip through Central and South America to Buenos Aires (Argentina). The film “PanAmericana” tells stories of lives on and around the Pan-American Highway. It illustrates unique natural beauty, contrasts of wealth and poverty, the importance of money as well as the tireless life’s longest consecutive road network in the world, from northern Alaska to southern Chile.

The film was shot on the original historic route between Laredo (USA) and Buenos Aires (Argentina). The idea of a single cross-continental highway was at the Fifth International Conference of American States in 1923. To consolidate peace, the convention on the Carretera Panamericana finally got signed on 23 December 1936 at the Inter-American Conference in Buenos Aires.
