American confessional

Why and how did he not see this coming ? That's the question Eddy L. Harris asks himself in the year of his 60th birthday and Trump's election, the day he suddenly realizes in front of an inane game TV show that his native country doesn't match to the image he had of it up until then. Since childhood, he has swallowed the lies served up by teachers, political leaders and preachers of all stripes... He and the majority of Americans have believed in an idyllic image of their country, without realizing that they were being manipulated. So Eddy decided to revisit the history of the United States and his own, to retrace the road paved with bad intentions that led him far from home and enabled Trump to seize power. Along the way, he measures the extent of this great illusion.
