In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist ROBERT PUTNAM , whose groundbreaking “ _Bowling Alone_ ” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

A moderated discussion by Crossing Party Lines – Braver Angels chapter leads will follow the screening of the film.  This promises to be entertaining, stimulating, and motivating—if a bit sobering at the same time.
