This spring, viewers can stream the following programs on GoUSA TV:
California Pop – April 23, 2020
This original five-episode series takes viewers on a road trip across California to experience the quirky undiscovered pop-culture landmarks of Northern and Southern California. In partnership with Visit California and produced by Saville Productions, the show combines innovative visual techniques with rich, character-based storytelling. Viewers follow two fun-loving and adventurous best friends, Anthony and Shikira, from Gold Country and the Central Valley to the Northern, Central, and Southern Coasts. During their journey, they meet a diverse cast of unforgettable characters—creators, purveyors, and stewards of pop culture—who have overcome different obstacles to create something unique in their own little corners of California. Each episode builds on the previous one, expanding the viewer’s understanding of California’s great diversity and the myriad of possibilities that can be explored in the state.
Lucky In Love – April 30, 2020
This three-part original series sends three international couples on a game of chance throughout the United States. The toss of a coin determines which partner will select the day’s activities as they set out to explore a new destination – pushing the duo outside of their comfort zone as they experience something entirely new. In the end, the couples learn something new about themselves – both independently and together. True relationships may be tested but also strongly forged. The series is filmed in Fort Worth, Texas; Washington, D.C.; and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Trails & Trailblazers – Currently streaming
Trails & Trailblazers is derived from Brand USA’s third documentary film, Into America’s Wild. The show follows an adventurous young pilot, Ariel Tweto, as she discovers new and unexpected places across the USA. Viewers will be taken to uncharted territories of Alaska’s landscapes and wildlife, virtually kite surf along Oregon’s scenic Columbia River Gorge, and even see what it is like to ride the bison on Antelope Island in Utah. Additional destinations include the Appalachian Trail in Florida, where viewers meet personalities such as Jennifer Pharr Davis, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, who set the record for completing the fastest Appalachian Trail hike by a woman. In San Antonio, Texas, viewers cruise along the San Antonio River, where they meet Emma Faye Rudkin, a deaf inspirational speaker who inspires disabled children around the USA to overcome obstacles. Tweto also makes stops in New York, Colorado, and New Mexico. This series is produced by the Academy Award-nominated producers at MacGillivray Freeman Films.
