Episode 1 • Oct 23, 2016
Million-Dollar School Board
A humble school board race in suburban Denver becomes a proxy battle between national political groups like the Koch Brothers and the teachers' union, as even down ballot races become nationalized.
Episode 2 • Jul 10, 2016
The Big Sort
There's a political self-sorting process that is happening across America. Blue voters are choosing to live in "creative-class" urban oases, as red voters remain in rural areas. Minnesota native Aaron Spading, conservative church-goer turned far-left Powderhorn Park resident, guides us as we explore one of those blue-dots-in-a-sea-of-red. Meetings with family and old neighbors illustrate just how deep the political gulf between people can be, but the film ends on a hopeful note; where there is dialogue, there can still be community.
Episode 3 • Oct 23, 2016
Gibraltar May Tumble
Democrats used to be competitive in both cities and the countryside, but partisanship has changed things. It's now getting harder and harder to find Democrats in rural areas across the US, but especially in the South. Are the partisans of Western Kentucky the last of this dying breed? We travel to the politically raucous annual Fancy Farm Picnic to find out.
