WATCH CAMBRIDGE IN TOM BROKAW DOCUMENTARY


Amanda Bramble and her mother at Jimmie & Sook's viewing partyJanuary 22, 2010—Tom Brokaw's hourlong documentary on Route 50, which opens with a segment on Cambridge, is now viewable online through the USA Network. The documentary premiered on Jan. 18. That's also when a huge crowd gathered at Jimmie & Sook's, which is featured in the program, to watch the documentary and to celebrate the restaurant's first anniversary.

 

In the documentary, Tom Brokaw says of Jimmie & Sook's owner Amanda Bramble (pictured here with her mother): "Her fight is indicative of a kind of American spirit that seems alive and well in Cambridge."

 

The documentary also features local watermen, crab-pickers, and the mayor. In the documentary, Brokaw travels 3,000 miles on Route 50, from Maryland to California, to take the pulse of the country from folks living in towns along the highway.
