Little America (Seasons 1–2)

Little America (2020) is an Apple TV+ anthology series you can watch online on iFILM. Every episode is a standalone immigrant story pulled from real lives.

There's no recurring lead. One chapter follows an Indian teenager keeping the family motel running after immigration agents detain his parents; another, a Mexican girl who turns into a squash prodigy; another, a Nigerian student in love with cowboy culture. Suraj Sharma, John Ortiz and a wide international cast play the people usually flattened into a statistic on the news.

The episodes were shaped by a team that includes CODA writer-director Sian Heder, and the stories themselves grew out of nonfiction profiles in Epic Magazine. The result is warm and unforced: half-hour pieces that go down easily one after another. Stream every episode of Little America online on iFILM.
