In Frank Capra’s classic 1946 movie,
It’s A Wonderful Life, guardian angel Clarence gives suicidal George Bailey the opportunity to see what the town of Bedford Falls would be like if George had never been born. George, played by the self-effacing
Jimmy Stewart, discovers what a profound positive impact he’s had on the small town, keeping the malevolent and greedy Mr. Potter from depriving its people of hope and opportunity.

They would see how much better off the "American" people and the world are because of America.
