美国的未来:剧情介绍

此片有助于抵挡不绝于耳的煽动者的谎言和丑闻，与当下的现实同样严肃，可也无法冲淡竞选带来的激动人心的情绪。911，卡特里娜飓风，安然公司事件以及伊战之后，美国式的乐观情绪若想要重回主流，受到以下两方面因素的阻碍：军事上的受挫和国内的焦虑情绪。这是一场美国式的诠释，但它对于自身限制的认知却是非美国式的。本片通过回顾美国历史中美妙绝伦的时刻来解读现世，将诸如托马斯杰弗森、亨利福特、马克吐温、亚伯拉罕林肯之类的传奇人物，和如今的士兵、商人、卡车司机、教师以及（甚至）政客联系起来。这个系列片及时而生动地将重大历史时刻前的美国（过去和现在）展现在观众眼前。

Plot Summary:To coincide with the US elections of 2008 comes this refreshing antidote to the whir of sensationalist spin and scandal, measuring up to the seriousness of the moment without diluting the excitement of campaign politics. After 9/11, Katrina, Enron and Baghdad, the robustness of American optimism is struggling to reassert itself against the sobering reality of military frustration and domestic anxieties. This is an America grappling with an un-American sense of its own limits. This series offers a timely and gripping vision of the United States - past and present - facing its moment of truth.
