American Passages background

American Passages

The film embarks on a thought-provoking exploration of America's complex past, delving into the nation's racial and social conflicts, ultimately culminating in a momentous celebration of freedom as the African-American community rejoices at Barack Obama's historic election.

An African-American celebrates in Harlem, mistakenly believing Barack Obama's victory marks the end of slavery. The film embarks on an associative journey through the United States, exploring the lives of a disillusioned Iraq veteran, gay adoptive fathers, black judges, and a pimp in Las Vegas. The contrast between black and white, rich and poor, and winners and losers is striking, mirroring the confusion surrounding the pursuit of happiness in times of crisis.
