Screening of UNDIVIDED US

By Faculty and Staff, Students

On Monday, September 9, at 7:00 pm, in Norris 101, please join the Ford Institute for a screening of the documentary UNDIVIDED US.

UNDIVIDED US is a poignant exploration of the toxic polarization gripping America, but it is not a story of despair.  Through the intimate lens of six focus groups across three American cities, this film explores discussions on the most divisive topics of our time and uncovers the potential for healing conversation.  UNDIVIDED US is not just a documentary; it’s a timely and urgent plea to reclaim the nation’s soul through open discourse and civic engagement.

A discussion with one of the film producers will follow the screening.  Ice cream, donuts, and cider will be provided!
