The Crumbling American Dream: 3 Abandoned Landmarks

This documentary visits three abandoned monuments of American ambition to explore the light and shadow of the American Dream. From a derelict Cold War missile shield to other decaying landmarks, it reads these ruins as symbols of a nation's pride and its disappointments. Through their crumbling remains it reflects on progress, decline and forgotten promises. Atmospheric and thoughtful, it turns empty places into a meditation on a country's changing story.
