In part two of this two-part series, Mark Little goes beyond the hopeful rhetoric of the US election to show us that doubt, not hope, is shaping America's future.

Bringing us back to the most dynamic part of the United States, the Sunbelt, and its most dynamic cities, including Las Vegas, Mark Little introduces a cast of colourful characters who bring to life the daunting home-grown challenges facing the US. They show how difficult it is for Americans to live out their founding ideals, like the pursuit of happiness, when they are confronted by doubts about recession, environmental crisis, immigration and even their relationship with God.

The final episode in this two-part series brings more of the breath-taking speed and dangerous intensity of modern American life and delivers a unique take on the perilous state of that American dream.
