I remember doing a road trip in the States based on areas of interest connected with Native American history and culture (and being the only non-Native in the vast majority of the locations). After long days traipsing around in the deserts and rocks I discovered Burn's 'The West' being shown on PBS in the evenings as I unwound with a bottle of wine. Stunning series and the timing could not have been more perfect.
