 Amerika (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amerika – suggesting a Russian name for the United States – was an American television miniseries that was broadcast in 1987.
Amerika criticized American society in the 1980s, implying that apathy and an unwillingness to defend freedom on the part of many citizens made the Soviet takeover rather easy.
Amerika has remained unseen on American television since its original telecast on ABC, possibly because its politics quickly became dated over the next few years with the breakup of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the reunification of Germany; perhaps also because it was not as popular as other miniseries.
