On the night Barack Obama was elected, he famously said, ‘Change will not come if we wait for some other person’. Inspired by this, award winning independent filmmaker Peter Hegedus realized that the change he wants is a world where leaders listen to the hopes and dreams of ordinary people.

Peter decided not to wait for some one else but to make a film called My America, which explores the United States' global role in the 21st Century and our own individual responsibilities towards making the world a better and safer place.

To make My America Peter packed his camera and a makeshift studio booth and travelled from Brisbane Queensland to places like China, Iran, Africa, America, Hungary and Australia. In each of these countries he invited people to step into his booth and record a message to Obama direct to camera.
