In the summer of 2003, DCTV, a media center in Chinatown New York, took clips from the videos they shot at Ground Zero, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and showed them to Americans in towns across the country.

Main Street USA combines the state-of-the-art technology of the Cybercar and verite-style documentary reports for a pulse-taking voyage across America. On Mains Streets in cities like Jonesborough, Tennessee - Palestine, Arkansas - Yazoo City, Mississippi - and East Saint Louis, Illinois, Americans spoke up about their feelings and concerns on the second anniversary of the devastating attacks of September 11th, 2001.

DCTV teamed up with NextNext Entertainment and Link TV with support from the Shei-rah Foundation, NHK TV and the National Endowment of the Arts to produce Main Street USA.

Through this program, the Cybercar brought the world to Main Street, America and this program brings Main Street, America to the world. The people spoke up. Find out: Who is America? What issues are affecting us? Where is our country going? National security, the fate of our armed forces, the state of the economy and the promise or threat of immigrants: are there any answers to these questions two years after the terror attacks. Find out as we compile the stories of interesting individuals along the Main Streets of USA.
