In an increasingly fractured America, the family photo album is bringing us together. Family Pictures: USA is a documentary-style magazine show that journeys through an America where familiar and idealized notions about our country are being transformed, from the streets of Detroit, to the shores of Southwest Florida, to the farm fields of North Carolina and beyond. As ordinary Americans begin to discover their hidden family histories, stashed in boxes in dusty attics or on old floppy disks and new smartphones, they will unpack more than artifacts and ephemera.
