Why watch this film?
“America is polarized.”
“America is divided.”
“This is the most divided Americans have ever been.”
Sound familiar? It’s all we hear these days. We hear it from the news, in tv shows, in books, on the radio…and at the dinner table. But have we looked at The Space Between?
A few years ago, it was reported that only 21% of American couples were politically mixed, meaning each parter belonged to a different political party. And only 4% of those couples were Democrats and Republicans.
The Problem
Because of man-made and instinctual forces we’re unaware of, Americans with significant differences are having fewer and fewer (productive) conversations.
This has led to much less interaction across the two parties. More concerning still, people from each party hold intensely negative opinions about the other.
Why This Film?
In this political documentary, The Space Between, we hear from experts about our current place in American history, how divided Americans actually are, and where the division comes from.
And we learn how we can overcome this and save our democracy.
