We're kicking off: conspiracy theories, the fight for democracy, and a forgotten world

Two friends set out across the American South and record everything they meet on the way. Dan grew up between Baltimore and Moscow. Jesse is a Texan who works with refugees from Mexico and Venezuela. Both are sons of migrant families, and both know what the American Dream is supposed to look like.

They drive into places most people avoid: roadside diners where strangers are not welcome, a prison that runs a rodeo with inmates, towns where activists have spent decades fighting the air they breathe. They want to know what the Dream means to people living in the most neglected and toxic corners of the country. Along the way, they meet the forgotten and their world, where conspiracy theories, the fight for democracy and plain survival sit side by side.
