"Screw that, I'll start my own nation right here": Mini web-series 'IndigNation' creators Marian and Melissa Harkness on America, Trump and more

Dabbling around in the manner of a social satire, the entire concept of their show implies a latent idea - the situation is so tragic, it's almost funny
PUBLISHED OCT 31, 2018

The fact that most Americans - much like the rest of the world - are fed up with the current state of American politics, is no secret. And it is, sort of, that same sense of frustration, mingled with certain other recent not-so-positive developments in the country, that finally led LA-based sisters Marian and Melissa Harkness to put on their producer pants and create a web series called 'IndigNation,' based on the miserable state of their country. 

Dabbling around in the manner of a social satire, the entire concept of their show, sort of, implies a latent idea - the situation is so tragic, it's almost funny. The web series' season premiere happened September 25. The opening sentence of the trailer sets the premise for the show: "America has elected a tyrannical Neanderthal, so, we've taken it upon ourselves to break away from the masses and create a nation of our own."
