How It All Started

Uncovering American is a raw, boots-on-the-ground docuseries exploring the real people, towns, stories, and cultural touchpoints that define America beyond the headlines. Created by filmmaker and veteran Chris Moreland, the series travels across the United States — from small towns and backroads to airshows, festivals, diners, factories, and communities built on grit, generosity, and everyday creativity.

You have questions.

Who is in it?

Why it matters.

  • Veterans sharing lived experience, history, and perspective

  • Pilots and airshow performers keeping aviation culture alive

  • Makers and builders who create with their hands

  • Small-town locals who know their communities better than anyone

  • Cooks and food workers feeding people with pride, not pretense

  • Mechanics and tradespeople who keep the country running behind the scenes

  • Volunteers and organizers holding together festivals, airshows, and hometown events

  • Parents and kids discovering places and stories together

  • Artists and storytellers rooted in community, not curation

  • Neighbors who show up when it matters

  • You — anyone willing to see America with honest eyes

Because America is more than what we argue about. Somewhere along the way, the loudest voices—politics, headlines, algorithms—started drowning out the real stories happening in real towns with real people. Families raising kids. Veterans rebuilding purpose. Makers, cooks, pilots, volunteers, and neighbors quietly holding their communities together without ever appearing in anyone’s feed. Uncovering American matters because it cuts through the noise and goes straight to the ground level, showing the parts of this country worth preserving, celebrating, and passing on. It reminds us that America’s strength isn’t abstract—it’s lived, built, shared, and carried by everyday people whose stories never make the news. This series matters because if we want our kids to understand the country they’re inheriting, we have to show them the version that’s still alive, still hopeful, and still worth fighting for.
