The popular series, hosted by award-winning journalist and author Lisa Ling, offers an in-depth examination of life in America and its complex subcultures. This season of Our America with Lisa Ling promises to challenge and entertain viewers with stories from their own backyards. Lisa takes viewers on a journey through secretive, kinky, misunderstood and marginalized subcultures throughout the nation, hoping to bring a new perspective on how we see our fellow Americans. From from the real world of BDSM, to our nation’s battle with childhood obesity, to the loving lifestyle of polyamory, to her own father’s struggle with aging, Lisa brings her unique insight and perspective to Our America.
