The American Question

Following numerous subjects from December 2016 - 2021, The American Question examines the root of American polarization and the repercussions of eroded civic institutions, public trust and leadership, providing solutions to solve the problem. 

Guided by an all-star lineup of experts, including Amy Chua (Day of Empire), Colin Woodard (American Nations), Yuval Levin (The Fractured Republic) and Yascha Mounk (The People vs. Democracy), we examine the broader arc of history and discover new revelations about the shared values system that binds society together in times of triumph and turmoil.

From director James Kicklighter (The Sound of Identity), The American Question is produced by Guy Seemann, p.g.a. and James Kicklighter, p.g.a., with executive producers S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow) and Marika Feuerstein. The director of photography is Jonathan Pope (Emmy® Award Nominee, The Social Dilemma) and film edited by Mohamed El Manasterly (Emmy® Award Winner, The Square), J.D. Sievertson ("Cosmos") and Carlos Puga (Emmy® Award Winner, “True Life"), with an original score from Nicolas Repetto, featuring original animation from Filmograph (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Candyman, Promising Young Woman).
