* This event is in‐​person only and will not be streamed online.

Through the intimate lens of six focus groups across three American cities, the film UNDIVIDE US explores the twisted landscape of toxic polarization, revealing how it drives us to fundamentally un‐​American places. Yet, within these divisions, the film uncovers the potential for healing conversation and the rediscovery of the value of local community, mutual respect, and democracy. Aiming to awaken the silenced majority that seeks solutions rather than strife, UNDIVIDE US is not only a documentary; it’s a timely and urgent plea to reclaim the nation’s soul through open discourse, civic engagement, and self‐​governance.

Please join us for a special advanced screening of the documentary. A brief discussion will follow the film.

Reviews for UNDIVIDE US

“This is a beautiful film about the power of human connection in an age of polarization and division.”

—Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind and cofounder of Heterodox Academy

“UNDIVIDE US is an uplifting film that makes you realize how easy the seemingly impossible is: how to get to know and even LIKE the people we think are totally, utterly WRONG! See it and you will feel not only hope—you will feel ready to try the secret technique that makes this understanding possible. A great, inspiring, and often very funny film for all ages (except, maybe, babies).”

—Lenore Skenazy, author of Free Range Kids

“UNDIVIDE US is a film everyone in America needs to see.”

—Jonathan Lipp, director of the Big Apple Film Festival
