MADE IN AMERICA
Made in America was a four-part series that told the stories of four ordinary, young Irish people who rejected the allure of the Celtic Tiger in search of another life across the pond. Capturing their energy and enthusiasm with dramatic photography and honest and humorous interviews, the series explored their successes and failures, expectations and disillusionments, and their resolve to get back on their feet and win the game despite failures and obstacles.
