It all began in southwest Ohio, where Trump voters and Clinton voters gathered in Braver Angels' Red/Blue workshops in the months after the 2016 election.
Now, one workshop and its aftermath have been captured in Braver Angels: Reuniting America, a one-hour documentary film by Emmy-winning director Jim Brown and produced by Peter Yarrow of the legendary Peter, Paul, and Mary trio.
Braver Angels: Reuniting America shows 8 Democratic-leaning voters and 7 Republican-leaning voters moving through a Red/Blue workshop, from initial skepticism to understanding and empathy. You’ll see how a Democratic voter went from threatening to cut off relationships with Trump voters to becoming dear friends with one, and how a Republican voter moved from disdaining progressives to taking co-leadership with one in a movement that now spans the country.
For a preview, watch a four-minute clip from the Documentary at https://braverangels.org/what-we-do/documentary/.
You are invited to a screening on Saturday, May 2, 1:30 to 3:30 pm. After the documentary, there will be a discussion hosted by Braver Angels volunteers.
Location: Zoom videoconference. Watch on PC, tablet, or phone.
