47% of Americans think the American Dream is coming to an end.  With the rising costs of living, AI threatening to take jobs, and the self-entitled attitudes prevalent in our world today, many feel that this 250 year experiment has officially ended in failure. Few are hopeful that the future can be better for their children - in fact, some are even choosing not to have children.

This film dives into the stories of  3 real Americans who are grappling with the question: Is there hope for the future of this country? Is the dream still possible? Through their lives we will see what it looks like to live out the American Dream, and what each member of our nation needs to do to ensure it lives on for future generations.

The next 250 years
start with you.

IT'S TIME TO REAWAKEN AMERICA:

ABOUT THE TEAM

This film was written and directed by William & Madison Hearn. Along with a team of producers from the Institute for Faith & Freedom, the couple hopes to encourage the nation on this special 250th anniversary.

William has lived for multiple years around the globe, and that time gave him an even greater appreciation the USA. It's his hope that others will be inspired by the God-given opportunity and blessings here in our great nation.

"As the United States began to grow, a hope was born - that the future was something that could be created, that could be called good. They called this the American Dream."
