Divided We Fall Television

We proved on camera that despite divisions that are exploited and amplified on social media and cable news, by pundits and politicians, Americans are hungry for connection and unity. They want the core of our democratic experiment–“We the People” to succeed.  

Our first public television documentary released in 2020 Divided We Fall: Unity Without Tragedy shows what happened when we filmed two groups of strangers  from opposite sides of our political divides– Gen Xers from Massachusetts and millennials from Chicago–  gathered together for a weekend. Audiences see what happens when people stop sitting in judgment and start listening to one another with curiosity.   

Divided We Fall: Listening With Curiosity will premier in April on Rocky Mountain PBS and the PBS World Channel .  In this new documentary the participants explain what they learned, how the experience transformed them and, most importantly, how people with such different backgrounds and opinions built lifelong bonds.  

It also includes commentary from three experts in the field of conflict resolution“There is a tremendous opportunity in our country to bridge our divides when you can bring people together like in Divided We Fall and see them actually build relationships and find common cause,” said Peter Coleman, Director of the Morton Deutsch International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution.
