Based upon the BBC’s award-winning Britain From Above. America Revealed is a unique look at what makes America tick, what it takes to keeps the biggest food machine in the world going, the delicate balance that keeps our supermarkets stocked with groceries and fast food restaurants supplied with fries. How we keep America moving with its vast and complex transport systems. How we propel ourselves through energy, what maintains the constant supply of fuel and electricity to our homes and businesses and finally how we keep up with the ever changing world, the import and export infrastructure that shapes our manufacturing industry.

America Revealed Audience Reviews

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Luecarou What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
markspencer_17 Great direction, great cinematography, great editing, great post production. WORST presenter. Ever. Yul Kwon is wooden, not talented, bad casting for this program. Another person would have made this program very well known and awarded. They should make this again with a better presenter. Half of the opinions presented in the series are merely a TV writers opinion. But they are presented as facts.One of the main problems is Yul Kwon's voice over is really wooden. he just doesn't have the talent for this type of program.I hope some new series of this stuff comes out but just with a different presenter.
Sam Smith Well written, and well produced, and is so environmentally irresponsible, as to be a joke!The worst, in my opinion, was the episode on Food. Completely ignores how our current diet and the disastrous effects on our environment, and health, our current food system is. The show glorifies, corn, feedlot beef, overuse of water in California, it just goes on an on, unbelievable.Completely unbalanced! Each episode appears to glorify an extol American excess, I would not expect something like this from PBS, it is more like propaganda of big business.
douglasgreenberg This series is awesome. It explains the complex systems that make American life work. Things like our food system, transportation system, power and manufacturing. Not just by telling. But showing them in their entirety, in action, doing their everyday work.Why oh why did they only made 4 episodes?Yul Kwon is an intelligent and thoroughly engaging host. And there are so many rocks left unturned. Things like our water system, health care system, Wall Street system and (one particularly dear to my heart as a tax attorney), tax system. These are just a few. The concept is fantastic. The opportunities are endless. Somebody, please get this guy back in production.
whermantodd This critique from an engineer background nothing but admires what was learned Public t.v.There were also powerful truths brought out in the transportation system episode in Los Angeles, regarding how past decades trolley systems are now being realized needed again because, freeway gridlock made by the conspirators GMC, Standard Oil, Firestone were determined post WWII make L.A. into what is automobile seen today.The only refute would come from idiot attorneys using corporate law to protect their corporation from the obvious wrongs started then, to make what we see today.The mention of bridges being asphalt stripped where trolley tracks HAD been covered to make new the use of trolley cars again speaks for itself.Mr Kwon, keep America Revealed going and thanks.
