Crossroads of A Nation is a one-hour documentary detailing the history of Missouri as a crossroads of the nation as it expanded west across the continent. From the region’s indigenous cultures up to the brink of Civil War, this film will trace Missouri’s indelible — and undeniable — mark on American history, which helped shape the nation into what it is today.
