The Battle for Florida - S1 E1

2. Freedom from fear

Valentine's Day 2018. A gunman commits a massacre at his former high school in a Miami suburb. An influential youth movement emerged from the sadness and anger about this 'Parkland shooting', which claimed the lives of seventeen people: March For Our Lives. 25-year-old Maxwell Frost, one of the faces of the movement, becomes the first Gen Zer to be elected to the US Congress, where he continues his fight for stricter gun laws. Fathers Ryan and Manuel both lost a child in the shooting, but they radically disagree on its lessons.

3. Freedom from scarcity

Every year, many millions of Americans visit Disney World and the surrounding theme parks near Orlando. But in Disney's shadow, Gen Zers are struggling with their future. During the day Cree rides a roller coaster, in the evening he returns to the motel where he lives with his mother, brothers and sister. Community worker Jacob tries to help peers like Cree. Valeria left her native El Salvador for the United States, but is her ideal for the future - her own house, a good job - still feasible for her generation?

4. Freedom of worship

Since the Supreme Court struck down the federal right to abortion, the subject has returned as an election issue. Governor DeSantis of Florida wants to ban abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, and doctors who participate in an unauthorized procedure are at risk of prosecution. Anya and Derek Cook experienced the new policy firsthand and are now collecting signatures for a referendum to restore the right to abortion. The owner of Hamburger Mary's, a restaurant famous for its drag queen shows, also does not accept the governor's conservative agenda: he takes him to court.
