Using aerial footage, high-definition video and real-time satellite data, America Revealed traces the movements and communications that miraculously come together to manufacture goods, transport people and materials, grow tons of food and power America's increasingly tech-savvy population.In the first episode, host Yul Kwon crosses the country to discover how the American food machine keeps nearly 300 million Americans fed every day. He encounters engineering marvels that have been created by putting nature to work and takes a look at the costs of the population's insatiable appetite on health and the environment.Kwon begins his trip with a pizza delivery route in New York City, then goes across the country to California's Central Valley, where nearly 50 per cent of America's fruits, nuts and vegetables are grown, and finally into the heartland for an aerial look at US farmlands.Along the way, he meets the men and women who keep America fed - everyone from industrial to urban farmers, crop-dusting pilots to long-distance truckers, and modern-day cowboys to the pizza deliveryman.
