- AMERICA'S CHOICE / AMERICAN CROSSROADS
Exploring the movements, events and ideas that will shape America in the years to come and their impact on the global stage, acclaimed journalist Goran Rosenberg takes us on a dramatic reality roadtrip through America, interviewing high-profile opinion-makers (politicians, celebrities, academics...) and engaging in hands-on encounters with illegal immigrants, vigilantes and activists in dramatic real life situations.
AMERICA'S CHOICE is a daring study and journey into the heart of the USA, telling her story through people, events, interviews and personal observation, combining the unexpected with the scripted, the emotional with the analytical and asking 'What next?' for this world super-power....
EPISODE 1 - THE NATION Who is America? Illegal immigration, economic pressure and a rising Hispanic subculture have again raised the issue of who belongs to America and who doesn't. Filming on both sides of the Mexican/Californian border, we meet illegal immigrants and vigilantes, smugglers and fence-builders, as we explore the state of the land of opportunity.
EPISODE 2 - THE REPUBLIC How true is the American Dream? The war on terror and the globalised economy have challenged the ideas of social mobility, national security and civil liberties. Filming in California, the Denver and Minneapolis party conventions and the Midwest heartland, we meet the winners and losers of the American dream in this story of imploding house markets, collapsing healthcare, environmental disasters and economic inequality.
EPISODE 3 - THE EMPIRE What role will America take in a globalized, hostile world? Is it about making the world more like America or saving America from the world? Filming in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Colorado, we meet ambitious politicians, myth-making celebrities, environmental pioneers, military men and rural survivalists, as we explore America's relationship to the outside world and its challenges.
