USA Documentaries

RTD’s documentaries about the USA bring you an up-close look at the maladies afflicting the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave’ today. From the Flint water disaster and fracking, to America’s catastrophic opioid crisis and raging gun control debate, you’ll get in-depth coverage of issues usually avoided or glossed over by the mainstream media. RTD’s documentaries about the USA also explore the roots of the Black Lives Matter movement and the police brutality that sparked it. Or, you can hear first-hand accounts of people whom the system has let down, from military veterans deported to Mexico to homeless citizens living in a tent city in New Jersey.
