- Synopsis:
- "Our America" is the incredible true story of two young boys from Chicago's deprived south-side who take up a local radio challenge to make a documentary about their everyday lives. The controversial program is riddled with horror stories of a drug dealing, gang warfare, drive-by killings, and broken homes. For some listeners, Lloyd Newman and LeAlan Jones' fly-on-the-wall portrait of ghetto life seems to be too negative; too concentrating on the bad aspects of life in their depressed neighborhood. But with the encouragement of enterprising young radio producer Dave Isay.
