What happens

Road Movies is a Canadian television series, which aired on CBC Television in 1992. The series sent eight young Canadians to locations throughout Canada, to create short reports on local life and culture for television broadcast. The series was based on the Télévision de Radio-Canada series La Course destination monde, but dropped the competitive element from the original series to become effectively just a documentary newsmagazine.
