A fictional literary-photographic-comic documentary by the performer Miřenka Čechová about Mckenzie Tomski, who falls in love with the city of New York, where she is a foreigner. Miss AmeriKa is the work of Miřenka Čechová, the photographer Vojtěch Brtnický and the Malaysian cartoonist Chin Yew: a symbiosis of experimental text, photographs and comics. The illegal New York immigrant Mckenzie Tomski comments sarcastically and uncompromisingly on her encounters with New York, its people, its trends and herself.
