Recorded during a speaking tour within the project Foreign Correspondent Unplugged, this audio feature follows award-winning Deutschlandradio correspondent Nadine Lindner as she travels through five American cities. Through interviews and firsthand observations, she explores how Americans, as their nation marks its 250th anniversary, reflect on its past, navigate its present, and imagine its future.
Drawing on encounters with people from diverse generations, backgrounds, and political perspectives, the feature offers a rich and multi-layered portrait of contemporary America. Against a backdrop of patriotism, uncertainty, hope, and polarization, it explores the state of American democracy at a moment of deep social and political transformation.
