As we navigate the U.S.’s political landscape, we’re confronted with the challenges of polarization, division, and the erosion of democratic norms. To explore these issues, we brought together a group of expert researchers, change makers, and organizational leaders to share their insights and perspectives. This short 10-minute documentary film and features interviews from experts including Annie Duke (author, co-founder of Renew Democracy Initiative), Uriel Epshtein (Executive Director of Renew Democracy Initiative), Dr. Hahrie Han (Director of the SNF Agora Institute), Joshua Fryday (Chief Service Officer for the State of California), Alison Taylor (Executive Director of Ethical Systems), and democratic activist Pastor Evan Mawarire (Renew Democracy Initiative).
