4th of July is a social drama focusing on the death of the American Dream. The game faces stereotypes about the poor, backwater part of America and shows the human face of those ridiculed by popular culture. The players star as the inhabitants of a trailer park - poor Americans riddled with problems. It’s a story about hope, looking and finding your place in both your country and the society.
Broken American Dream
On the 4th of July 1776, the United States of America declared independence.
The immigrants from the Old World wanted to create a new state in America, built on Democracy, Freedom and Equality. For many years, millions of people driven by the American Dream were drawn to this beautiful country to start again, disregarding their original social status.
More than 200 years later, many Americans still live in conditions vastly different from what the Founding Fathers have imagined. Barely making their ends meet, they try to be good parents for their families and proud Americans, despite poverty and exclusion. Even though they live at the edge of society, their home - a small patch of land filled with trailers and fragile, wind-rocked huts - for them is the essence of “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.
And this story is about them.
