Channel: BBC TWO Channel
Episode Details: Season 1 Episode 2
Episode Name: A Dream Denied
Preview:
‘The American dream’ – a phrase coined in 1931 that has become a national motto. It represents a unique brand of optimism that goes to the heart of what it is to be American. It is a simple phrase but a complex notion whose meaning is sustained and challenged by each generation.
The promises of the American dream extended to all, but it was a dream denied to many. This episode looks at those who could not square the rhetoric of the dream with the reality of their lives, and those who wanted a different dream and a different America. It looks at a range of experiences: from Japanese and African Americans during the Second World War to radical groups of the seventies like the Weather Underground and the American Indian Movement.
