Citizen U.S.A.: A 50 State Road Trip

(2011)

Synopsis

Each year, close to one million people from over 150 countries become American citizens. Who are these new Americans, and why do they want to live here? Award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi – who has crisscrossed the country with a future president, a fallen evangelical and everyone in between – wants to know. Pelosi brings HBO viewers on a one-hour journey to witness the moments when new citizens take their oath, to discover why so many people are willing to renounce their birth country and swear allegiance to the United States of America.
