The Divided Soul of America backdrop

The Divided Soul of America 2019 Directed by Jörg Daniel Hissen Die gespaltene Seele Amerikas

A nuanced investigation of America's political landscape

Under the Trump administration, USA is a deeply divided country. One side feeds populism and religious rectitude in a monochromatic landscape, painted white, lamenting for a past that never will return. The other side fuels diversity and multiculturalism, a biased vision of a progressive future, quite unlikely. Both sides are constantly confronted, without listening to each other. Only a few reasonable people gather to change this potentially dangerous situation.
