Nieuwsuur journalist and former America correspondent Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal travels through the United States in eight episodes. What kind of country is Obama leaving to his successor? We are also familiar with many of the problems that America is currently wrestling with in the Netherlands; whether it is immigration problems or the increasing gap between rich and poor. Nevertheless, there are doers on both sides of the ocean who do not wait for government intervention, but who take positive action themselves. In each of the eight episodes, parallels between America and the Netherlands are sought.
