This very special program is a retrospective, a visual travel memoir, of the more than forty years of filming the world by Doug Jones, one of America's best-known travel filmmakers. Drawn from over one half million feet of motion picture film, shot on six continents and in 60 countries, the film follows a circuitous route around the world stopping in the best known travel destinations. Since many places were filmed more than once during the course of several decades, this program shows the changes in the world and the changes in photography, as well.
