Independent Lens | AMERICAN MADE | PBS

Trapped in the middle of the desert on their way to the Grand Canyon, a Sikh American family has only one hope: the remote highway and the occasional car that drives by. AMERICAN MADE confronts issues of tradition, faith, conformity and sacrifice after the family's youngest son accuses his turban-clad orthodox father of looking like a terrorist while stranded on a remote desert road.

An encore presentation of AMERICAN MADE airs Tuesday, January 22 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

I just saw this short film on PBS and I'd like to say thank you. It inspires contemplative thought over the rift created in my generation between races. I welled up with hopeful tears at the end. Again. Thanks.
