A Community Conversation Before America’s 250th Presented by PBS, WVIA, & McCourt Entertainment
David McCourt, producer of Amerigo, will be one of the speakers and is available for interviews.
His own American Dream journey is illustrative – a self-made gallionaire who puts his $ and his producing skillset toward socially-minded projects that explore the human condition. Amerigo is radical in that it poses the agnostic question, What is Your American Dream? with the goal of sparking conversation and community – it is the antidote to divide and conquer on both sides of the aisle
On July 4, 2026, the United States marks 250 years of independence. To commemorate this historic milestone, PBS stations nationwide will present AMERIGO—a powerful three-part documentary about resilience, creativity, and the quiet triumph of the human spirit in a rapidly changing nation.
In creating AMERIGO, the filmmakers traveled across all 50 states, capturing more than 1,000 conversations with everyday Americans to explore a single question: What does the American Dream look like today?
Join us for an intimate evening with the people behind AMERIGO and community leaders reimagining what the Dream means for Pennsylvania, for America, and for you.
