Over three years, Jack Finnegan has twice crisscrossed America (via rail) and once circled the globe, studying the manner and method of human life by immersing himself in cities across six continents, and performing stories as he has traveled. CITY LOVE SONG: HOME chronicles his final trip, this time across the globe, from India to Morocco to Guatemala, and many far-flung places in between. This unique travelogue is a lyrical, clear-eyed examination of the people and their lives in cities around our world.Videos
