What happened to the American Dream?
Amerigo: The Search for the American Dream airs Saturday, June 27 at 4:30 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streams live on the WXXI and PBS apps.
Filmed across all 50 states over two years, AMERIGO weaves together hundreds of unscripted interviews with everyday Americans…from blue-collar workers, veterans, and immigrants to artists, students, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Exploring work, housing, healthcare, technology, art, and more – it captures a raw, panoramic, and unexpectedly hopeful portrait of a country at a crossroads. There are no politicians. No pundits. No polarizing spin. AMERIGO is proudly nonpartisan and deeply pro-American– an emotional journey that listens before it speaks, and invites viewers to look past the noise and rediscover what binds us together.
