Hidden in America should be required viewing for all political candidates and elected officials. Having spent 50 years in social work, I can attest to the authenticity of the character of Bill Januson. The producers of this film should receive credit for having the guts to make it. Almost the entire cast, especially the Januson family, were perfectly cast.

I agree with the many comments that the first half was difficult. Being old and not too fast on the uptake, only when I caught on to the fact that the entire island was a TV set, did I really get into it. After that, it was great. My wife didn't make the transition and thought "it was the stupidest movie I've seen". Maybe because she is a soap opera fan and likes to watch real life drama?
