The American Dream: Unlimited Consumption

Inspired by the BBC award-winning program "Britain from Above," our program offers a unique and distinctive view into what keeps America running. What does it take to sustain the world's largest feeding machine? What is the elegant balance that keeps the massive U.S. stores filled with fruits, vegetables, meat, and other products? How do fast-food chains stay supplied with French fries? How does America maintain its constant movement through its vast and complex transportation systems? How do American citizens stay consistently supplied with energy? What maintains the steady flow of fuel and electricity to American homes and businesses? And finally, how does America stay alive in this ever-changing world through the import-export infrastructure that forms the backbone of U.S. manufacturing?
