Plot — What is Chicagoland about?
Chicagoland is an eight-part documentary series that offers an unfiltered, vérité-style look into the complex social, political, and educational dynamics of one of America’s most iconic cities. Filmed during a critical moment in Chicago’s modern history, the series follows Mayor Rahm Emanuel, local leaders, and everyday citizens as they confront the city’s most urgent challenges — from gun violence and public school closures to economic inequality and police-community tensions. Created by Robert Redford and the team behind Brick City, Chicagoland captures the high-stakes balancing act of governing a diverse, divided metropolis, while also highlighting the determination, resilience, and activism of its people. The result is a raw and compelling portrait of a city in flux — and a nation grappling with the same issues on a broader scale.
