Amerigo: The Search for the American Dream

Where to Watch

PBS

Overview

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, AMERIGO: THE SEARCH FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM asks one urgent, unifying question – what happened to the American Dream – and explores if it is still attainable for many today. Filmed across all 50 states over two years, the program features unscripted interviews with everyday Americans, from blue-collar workers, veterans and immigrants to students, entrepreneurs and community leaders. Told in thematic chapters examining work, housing, healthcare, technology, art and more, AMERIGO captures a raw, panoramic and unexpectedly hopeful portrait of a country at a crossroads.
