Little America consists of eight half-hour stories drawn from the pages of Epic Magazine’s column of the same name. “Inspired by a true story” of immigrants living in America, as the title sequence always reminds us (the exact phrase appears below the English text, translated into the subject’s native language), the series’ creators plop us in the shoes of a different person each episode.

The only commonality is that our protagonist has come to the US from somewhere else. Apart from that, the canvas is wide open, with the creators playing with time, tone and genre in ways as diverse as their subjects.

Here at ESU, we will be meeting these real-life immigrants and relating their stories to our own!
