MIRIAM’S BIG AMERICAN ADVENTURE

3 x 60'

UK Premiere 9pm Wednesdays 3rd, 10th & 24th January 2018 on BBC1

In this brand new series the inimitable Miriam Margolyes embarks on an epic road trip through the heartlands of Middle America.

Articulate, funny and refreshingly honest, Miriam’s adventure takes her almost a thousand miles from Chicago to New Orleans as she meets the people whose voices and votes are reshaping the nation. From summer camps to county jails and all-girl motorbike gangs to a mass citizenship ceremony, she embeds in communities whose visions of their country challenge everything she thought she knew about America.
