Margo Price “All American Made”

Margo takes a ride through America in a house built on the back of a flatbed truck. At one point, a wall breaks off and it opens her up to the world. We wanted to show that we are all protected in our own little worlds, in our own houses. We have our idea of what the world is, what other people are. In the end of the video, we see Margo staring at the driver of the truck, and are left with the question....who is the driver? Who drives your fears, your hopes, your comfortability, your cultural perspective? Who is it that drives your life and what steps do you take to open up to the world and connect with other humans?"

The video was shot in eight cities across five states in nine days, highlighting individuals from all across these communities including: Leona Tate, one of the first children to integrate into white schools in New Orleans, who now heads her own foundation in support of inner-city youths; Sherrell Street, an Indiana farmer dealing with the recent loss of his wife; The Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition from Price's hometown of Nashville, Tennessee and Burnell Cotlon from the Lower 9th Ward in Louisiana, who put his life savings into revitalizing the neighborhood after Hurricane Katrina. Even my own mother is featured, shown digging amongst the remaining rubble of our burnt down family home in Southern Indiana - where we lost lost everything due to lack of insurance.
