America is a documentary film that traces the weeks leading up to the election of Donald Trump, in the small town of Seligman, in the heart of Arizona. A film to be seen for anyone who wants to touch some of the reasons that led these people to elect Donald Trump.
With his cameraman Claus Drexel he went to the heart of Arizona in the Great American West not far from Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon sublimated by John Ford, in the town of Seligman.
Claus Drexel met the inhabitants of Seligma while Donald Trump was campaigning, and made them talk about their lives, their relationship with this election, with politics, their dreams.
Magnificent landscapes and dizzying words, with something striking in this fascinating documentary: not only the eloquence, but also the acting talent of these Americans. Their relationship with guns, and the almost permanent presence on the screen of alcohol and beer. And above all their relationship with a lost ideal, this American dream symbolized by these large luxury cars now rusted and scrapped. “America” is a must-see film for anyone who wants to touch on some of the reasons that led these people to elect Donald Trump.
