Little America Immigrant Anthology
Apple originally considered the series back in February as a straight-to-series production, and now it’s past consideration and officially under the Apple brand. Written by Emily V. Gordon, Lee Eisenberg, and Kumail Nanjiani, Little America is inspired by true stories featured in Epic Magazine.
It’s described as “a small, collective portrait of America’s immigrants — and thereby a portrait of America itself.” The stories are funny, romantic, heartfelt, and inspiring, and will tell the stories of immigrants in America.
Hmm, I hope Apple’s “portrait of America” contains people born and raised here as well. Is there any room left in portraits or public discourse for American citizens?
The entirety of American media features American citizens born and raised here.
