America – Dream and Reality

I’m currently in the final stretch of a three-part ZDF documentary series marking the 250th anniversary of the USA. How are the nation’s core values faring — “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” as promised by the American Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776? How much of the “American Dream” remains in a country that is deeply divided? Personal experiences from a wide range of people, together with analyses by experts, paint a multi-voiced portrait of the USA. TV premiere on June 9, 2026, on ZDF.
