Face of a Nation: What Happened to the World's Fair? (2022)

Presenting the power of architecture on the world's imagination, and its ability to affect a nation's dreams - FACE OF A NATION: What happened to the World's Fair?" captures erosion of the American image at one of the most important events in showcasing a nation's influence on the international stage. A reminder that "to keep the dream alive," we must never lose sight of our vision and values. Probing deeply into national identity, Mina Chow investigates the controversy surrounding U.S. participation at World's Fairs for the last 25 years. The film asks important questions about the country's role in the world and perceptions of the American image. With our diminished presence at World's Fairs, have we lost sight of what it means to be American?
