Since 1993, A Fork in the Road has been the thinking-person’s travel show. The title refers to the divergent, off-the-beaten-track aspect of the series. It captures the natural ambience of a country and delves into particular aspects not generally known. It does this by featuring local people who express their thoughts and feelings about living in that part of the world. Representing a different and more reflective approach to travel, the series shows why people and not just places, make travel memories. With evocative vision and a script that conveys a little wit and irony, we attempt to rekindle the romance of travel.
