Beschreibung

Documentary film with introduction. The USA is in the grip of an intense partisanship the likes of which has not been seen in nearly a century. Every political issue today invariably becomes a pitched partisan battle, irrespective of the issue - be it the economy, global climate change, education, or foreign policy. The two parties are further apart than they have been in generations, and this extreme polarization has made it nearly impossible to govern the country effectively. How has the United States become so divided? Through candid conversations with citizens from all walks of life and commentary from some of the sharpest minds analyzing government and society today - including Robert Putnam, Noam Chomsky, Nicholas Kristof, Jesse Jackson, and others - Split explores the social, political, and economic forces pushing the oldest living democracy to its breaking point.
