Is the American Dream still alive? Insight, in New York, brings together young Americans from Brooklyn to the Bronx to ask: is the American Dream still alive? This group of racially and socially divided youngsters bursts into passionate argument over success and failure in America's tough economic times, despite their determination to show Australians they're 'classier than that stuff on Jerry Springer'. Eric Brody made his first million before age 30 and is after 50 more. He is one of New York's most promising property developers, and says the current economic catastrophe facing the States doesn't faze him at all. He is joined by Aja Monet, a 21-year-old spoken word artist from Harlem, who says the neighbourhood's African American residents will soon be priced out of their homes and replaced by wealthier white people. Adam Shephard set out to prove the American dream; that starting from nothing he could attain a house, car and savings, and he believes he did so. But could he only take a risk because his background allowed him the safety to do so? Shaquana Appelwhite is 18, lives in the projects and wants a mansion and 80 cars. As the world's most powerful country faces a real threat, Insight finds out how its future custodians plan on dealing with it.
