Australian Filmmaker Peter Hegedus grew up in socialist Hungary and overdosed on American movies and the values he thought they promoted: truth, justice, and hope for a safer world. But twenty years later, he wonders whether the America of his dreams ever existed. From the streets of Tehran to Tiananmen Square and from the refugee camps of Africa to the White House, My America follows Peter on a six-year quest to find out what happened to the America of his childhood. With a sense of fun and playful naivety, My America challenges the anti-American rhetoric of the last decade to discover what America stands for in the now and what it means for billions around the world whose lives it impacts.
