why are americans so divided, and what can we do about it?

Tired of political division in America? So are the majority of us. Worried about the future of American democracy if we continue to fight with and insult one another? Many Americans are no longer having political conversations because they might turn into an argument.

In the midst of always hearing how divided we are, this political film will bring you hope about where we’re headed and how we can get there.

The What:

It’s time for Americans to take a hard look within to see if we’re contributing to our own division. How can we find common ground? It’s not an exaggeration to say the fate of American democracy is at stake.

From award-winning writer and director/producer Emily Arndt comes The Space Between. Documentary filmmaker Emily Arndt learns what’s causing political division in America and what all Americans must do to save our democracy.

The How:

Filmed over three-and-a-half years, The Space Between is a political documentary made by communities, for communities. With help from growing cinematographers across the country, and community members who want this film to be made, we are building a movement for Americans to find common ground, question the political system around us, and self-reflect.

The Where:

The film features stories and insights from Americans interviewed along the East Coast.

The Who:

In this political documentary we hear from people in a focus group in York, PA, on the streets of Washington, DC as passersby, and in individual interviews with four Americans who could be your neighbor: Steward, Molly, Ilsy, and Ryan.

We learn from interviewees how much the political divide has impacted them.
