Social media in contrast to civil discourse

JJ and Jeff react to social media interactions and Carolyn talks about empathy after connecting with peers.

Divided We Fall is a television docu-series created to match the challenges Americans are now experiencing in our political and public discourse. We were inspired to prove on camera: despite profound divisions, Americans are hungry to connect and bridge the divides. Americans want to talk with and listen to each other. Americans want the core of our democratic experiment– "We the People” to succeed.

Over 48 hours on set, twelve individuals faced a series of topics and exercises regarding what it means to be an American, the challenges facing our country, and their ideas for achieving a “more perfect union.” The participants include an equal number of men and women and equal number that strongly approve and disapprove of President Trump.

On both occasions, people recognized each other’s humanity and left with relationships-- even friendships--across this allegedly insurmountable divide.
