Plot Synopsis
AMERICA REVEALED shows what America looks like from above, highlighting its farms and the people who work them, the energy grid and its production facilities, its interconnected interstates and transportation systems, and its industries and businesses. Host Yul Kwon, a technology expert and communications attorney who was the winner of SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS, climbs, leaps and rides across the U.S. to show how this country works, including: a crop duster who struggles to maintain pinpoint accuracy while facing high winds and a small target; a power worker who fights the looming threat of a multi-state blackout by fixing live power lines, while precariously perched on the side of a helicopter; an air traffic controller who directs planes in increasingly crowded skies; and a factory locator who uses the aerial perspective to reshape the country's industrial landscape. Plus, the four-part series introduces people like Detroit urban farmer Will Gardner and L.A. traffic chopper reporter Chuck Street, who are on the ground -- or in the air -- making America move. Each episode focuses on a different aspect of the U.S.: food; energy; transportation; and business.
