IF ONLY THEY DIDN SPEAK ENGLISH - JON SOPEL KA...

As the BBC's North America Editor  Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the 18
months it's taken for a reality star to go from laughingstock to leader of the free world  Jon
has travelled the length and breadth of the United States  experiencing it from a perspective
that most of us could only dream of: he has flown aboard Air Force One  interviewed President
Obama and has even been described as 'a beauty' by none other than Donald Trump. Through music
film  literature  TV and even through the food we eat and the clothes that we wear we all have
a highly developed sense of what America is and through our shared  tangled history we claim a
special relationship. But America today feels about as alien a country as you could imagine. It
is fearful  angry and impatient for change. Reflecting on his journey across the continent to
cover the most turbulent race in recent history  Jon Sopel lifts a lid on the seething
resentments  profound anxieties and sheer rage that found its embodiment in a brash 
unpredictable and seemingly unstoppable figure. In this fascinating  insightful portrait of
American life and politics  Jon sets out to answer our questions about a country that once
stood for the grandest of dreams but which is now mired in a storm of political extremism 
racial division and increasingly perverse beliefs.
