Description
David Bell's life appears to be one of prosperity and good looks, but beneath the surface, he is struggling with feelings of emptiness. His decision to leave his Manhattan office for a small town in America's mid-west seems like a desperate attempt to find meaning. As David films the lives of ordinary people, he becomes increasingly convinced that there is no heart to be found in modern America. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a world that has lost its way. Don DeLillo's novel Americana is a powerful exploration of contemporary American life, one that challenges the notion of the American dream and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
