The Divided Soul of America(2019)
Die gespaltene Seele Amerikas
A nuanced investigation of America's political landscape
The Divided Soul of America Synopsis
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.
