The American Question

What is the glue that holds a country together? Following numerous subjects from December 2016, The American Question examines the insidious roots of American polarization and distrust, in a desperate search for a path forward. Guided by an all-star lineup of experts, including Amy Chua (Day of Empire), Colin Woodard (American Nations), Yuval Levin (The Fractured Republic) and Yascha Mounk (The People vs. Democracy), The American Question reframes the heightened stakes of the 2024 election through revisiting the last 8 years of civic discord, revealing new revelations on how decades of decline dissolved public trust - presenting solutions to restore our democracy. From director James Kicklighter (The Sound of Identity), The American Question is produced by Guy Seemann, p.g.a. and James Kicklighter, p.g.a., with executive producers S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow) and Marika Feuerstein. The director of photography is Jonathan Pope (Emmy® Award Nominee, The Social Dilemma) and film edited by Mohamed El Manasterly (Emmy® Award Winner, The Square), J.D. Sievertson ("Cosmos") and Carlos Puga (Emmy® Award Winner, "True Life"), with an original score from Nicolas Repetto, featuring original animation from Filmograph (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Candyman, Promising Young Woman).
