Independent America (NR)

synopsis

These days, you have to go out of your way if you want to do business with Mom & Pop. One couple has taken that notion a little bit farther 13,000 miles farther to be exact. Independent filmmakers and award-winning former NBC news journalists Hanson Hosein and Heather Hughes take the road less traveled in a thought-provoking new documentary, which uncovers the growing opposition to big box retail across the United States and the often desperate fight being waged by independent retailers to stay alive.
