Alexander Armstrong embarks on a journey across the United States to explore how a nation founded on bold ideals became one of the world’s most powerful and complex countries. From the historic streets of Pennsylvania and the rugged hills of West Virginia to Florida’s sun-soaked coastlines, the neon spectacle of Las Vegas and the vast landscapes of Utah, the series crosses thousands of miles to meet the people and places that reveal a nation shaped by its past, constantly reinventing itself, and defined by bold ambition and striking contrasts.
