Americantown

Summary

What's to Love: Part social commentary, part family
drama, Americatown asks: What if the American Dream gave way to the American
Nightmare? In their inaugural comic series, screenwriters Bradford Winters (Oz,
Boss, The Americans) and Larry Cohen (Netflix's Borgia), give us a story great
for fans of Transmetropolitan, Children of Men, and the TV show Black Mirror.


What It Is: After an economic collapse and
other disasters in the near future, Americans are now the legal and illegal
immigrants living abroad. They find work in cities like Buenos Aires, where
their very own enclave known as "Americatown" has taken root. Owen, a recent
arrival, begins a journey to support and save his splintered family divided
between the enclave and home back in the U.S. His struggle is just a small part
of the hardships and conflicting agendas in an immigrant community trying to
build itself in the shadow of a once great nation.
