WE LOVED THIS SHOW! HOLY SHIT!!!
ANA BENAROYA
"I also have always felt like the American identity was a hyper-masculine one – something that I am not and can never be. To me, sports also embody this hyper-masculinity. I put two and two together and thought that this could be a good concept for a show – hence the title “American Heroes”. Through the depiction of different athletes and images of aggression and sexuality – I hoped to explore the concept of the identity of the “American Hero” – and why we idolize who and what we idolize."
